@MrNood PLEASE HELP!

Answer 4

i have no clue!

Answer 5

me too

Answer 6

Do you mean a combination of dependent events?

do oyu have a specific example?

Answer 7

This is my last question!

Answer 8

I dont know....Thats all the question says

Answer 9

Can u just take a guess @MrNood

I cant open links on openstudy

Answer 12

what's the question?

Answer 13

Explain how to compute the probability of a compound event.

Answer 14

For example, we know that if you flip a single coin one time, the theoretical probability of getting a "HEAD" is 1/2. What happens to the probability if we flip the coin twice? Or three times for that matter? Does the probability change?
How do we calculate the probability of getting a "Tail" on a coin flip AND a "4" when we roll a die?


We call probability experiments like these which involve more than one activity "compound events."
These are much more realistic activities, and because of this it is important to be able to calculate the probabilities of "compound events".





The Rule:
To find the probability of two independent* events "E" and "F", simply multiply the probabilities of the two independent events:
P(E and F) = P(E) X P(F)

* independent events are events in which the outcome of one event has no effect on the outcome of the other.
For example: rolling a die and then picking a card from a deck are independent events.

Answer 22

Conditional Probability right?

Answer 23

Independent events are different from Conditional Probability events. it depends if one event affects the other or not. THey are both compound events.

No need to yell in caps. Just making a point.

Answer 25

I'm a techie?

Answer 26

Really (:V)

Answer 27

Yep.
