help please

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since you're not replacing, the first event affects the second event

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the events are dependent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait help with this one Tell if the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yep !

help A number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6 is rolled and a coin is tossed. What is the probability that the number cube will show a number greater than 4 and the coin will land with tails up? A.1/12 B.1/6 C.2/5 D.5/6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so there are two events here : 1) rolling cube 2) tossing coin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

again u have two events : 1) drawing a coin 2) rolling a cube

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the probability of drawing a silver coin from the bag ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
