@Noahs686: Please understand that we OpenStudy members are allowed neither to ask for direct answers nor to provide them. Read the Code of Conduct for more detail on that. Please do NOT start your posts with "WILL GIVE EVERYONE WHO ANSWERS CORRECTLY A MEDAL!!!!!"

If you're going to post answer choices, do that all at one time, please, and do some thinking on your own first. Which of the possible answers seems least likely to be correct, and why? What does "independent" mean in this context?

Answer 12

So, @Noahs686, what are your thoughts regarding the correctness or wrongness of each of the four possible answers, and why?

Answer 13

@mathmale: I have done my own thinking first but i do not unde
rstand that is why i asked

Answer 14

i also cannot say which is wrong or right because i dont understand

Answer 15

what do you think

Answer 16

Ask questions to clear up your misunderstanding. You say you've done your own thinking? Please post some of those thoughts here.

What does the word "independent" mean?
What does "independent" mean when we're discussing "events" in probability?

Answer 17

@mathmale i know independent means alone or by itself

Answer 18

Yes, such as a young person with a job who is no longer dependent upon his parents.
What does "independent event" mean in probability?

Answer 19

i dont know can you explain

Answer 20

What study resources have you? textbook? online reading materials? Have you consulted any of these?

Answer 21

yes and i cant find it in my vocab

Answer 22

Where specifically have you looked for "independent events?"

Answer 23

i am with connexus and i'm home schooled online and my math book doesn't explain it gives problems that go along with my lesson. And that is why i am confused

Answer 24

and i have looked in my glossary. but this common core stuff is not understandable at all and i cannot find what i look for.

Answer 25

which of the following is an example of independant events?
rolling 2 number cubes
selecting marbles from a bag without replacement after each draw
choosing and eating a peice of candy from a dish and then choosing another peice of candy
or pulling a card from a deck when others have pulled several

Answer 26

You have listed four possible answers. Which of them do you think is least likely to be correct, and why?

Answer 27

choosing and eating a peice of candy from a dish and then choosing another peice of candy

Answer 28

wait or would that be independant

Answer 29

@mathmale

Answer 30

What do YOU think, and why?

Answer 31

i woud think it would be indapendant because it doesnt affect each other @mathmale

Answer 32

sorry for the wrong spelling my computer sometimes skips

Answer 33

If you had 6 different pieces of candy on a plate, your chances of picking any particular piece are 1 in 6. If you choose one and eat it, you'd have only 5 pieces left; the chances of picking any particular one of those is now 1 in 5, not 1 in 6. Are these events dependent or independent, and wh?

Answer 34

dependent because there are more than one

Answer 35

@mathmale

Answer 36

i dont uderstand because all of them have to do with more than one thing @mathmale

Answer 37

More than one what?
Actually, Noah, these two events are dependent because one (choosing and eating one piece of candy) clearly affects the next event, which would be choosing a piece of candy from the remaining five.

Answer 38

Yes, definitely: when we talk about dependence or independence, we ARE talking about two or more events. Yes.

Answer 39

which of the following is an example of independant events?
rolling 2 number cubes
selecting marbles from a bag without replacement after each draw
choosing and eating a peice of candy from a dish and then choosing another peice of candy
or pulling a card from a deck when others have pulled several

Please look over these 4 situations. Which one (or which ones) seem to describe DEPENDENT events? We'll eliminate that one / them.

Answer 40

i think selecting marbles from a bag is dependent

Answer 41

and rolling two number cubes @mathmale

Answer 42

It's important that you spell out the entire set of circumstances:

"selecting marbles from a bag without replacement after each draw."

Every time you select a marble from the bag and do not replace it, y ou have changed the situation; the probability of drawing a certain marble from the bag is different from before, so yes, this is a case of dependent probability. Eliminate this choice. Now you have 3 answers to choose from. Which one will you eliminate next, and why?

Answer 43

pulling a card from a deck when others have pulled several because there are several situations on this so it is dependent

Answer 44

@mathmale

Answer 45

You're on the right track, but your language needs to be more precise. Each time you pull a card from a deck and do not replace it, you have changed the probability of picking any particular card next time. So, this is another case of dependent events. What action are you going to take?

Answer 46

i think i'm going with rolling a number cube 2 times

Answer 47

@mathmale

Answer 48

i think its rolling a number cube 2 times

Answer 49

What do you mean by "going with?" It's important that you use the language given in the problem statement.

Answer 50

i pick it

Answer 51

i pick rolling a number cube 2 times

Answer 52

help please

Answer 53

one roll or toss of the cube is INDEPENDENT of every other roll or toss of the cube. Therefore, these two events (roll the first time, roll the second time) are independent. Which is the correct answer choice?

Answer 54

Hope this discussion has helped you. The correct answer should be obvious now. I'm sorry our discussion has been so spread out, but Open Study is being heavily used right now and is correspondingly slow. See you again here on OpenStudy.
