Situation 1: Consider A Box That Contains 14 Red Ball, 12 Blue Balls, and 9
Dependent Events
- When outcome of one event affects the outcome of another event;
they are dependent events.
P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B following A)
Example:
Situation 2: Consider a box that contains 14 red ball, 12 blue balls, and 9
yellow balls. Suppose that two balls are drawn one after the other without
putting back the first ball. Find the probability that the first ball is red and
the second ball is yellow.
Given: 14 red balls
12 blue balls
9 yellow balls
35 balls
Solution:
P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B following A)
P(red and yellow) = P(red) · P(yellow following red)
P(red and yellow) = ·
P(red and yellow) = or
Another example:
What is the probability of drawing 2 blue balls in succession without
replacement?
Solution:
P(blue and blue) = ·
P(blue and blue) =

Group Activity: Activity Cards/Tarpapel
Find the probability of the given problem.
Group 1:
A bag contains 6 black marbles, 9 blue marbles, 4 yellow marbles, and 2
green marbles. A marble is randomly selected, replaced, and a second
marble is randomly selected. Find the probability of selecting a black
marble, then a yellow marble.
Group 2:
A box of can goods contains 10 beef loafs, 8 corned beefs, and 6 sardines.
Rosey randomly chooses a can good, cooks and eats it, and then randomly
chooses another can good. What is the probability that Rosey chose a beef
loaf, and then, a sardine?
Group 3:
A basket contains 6 candies, 5 marshmallows, 4 gummy bears, and 5
lollipops. Ash randomly chooses one piece of sweet, eats it, and chooses
another piece of sweet. If Ash ate two the same sweets, what is the
probability that she chose two lollipops?
Group 4:
Sean has 4 black pens, 3 blue pens, and 2 red pens in his pocket. Sean
randomly picks two pens out of his pocket. What is the probability that
Sean picked a black pen and a red pen, if he replaced the first pen back in
his pocket before choosing another pen?

orange jelly beans. What is the probability of randomly choosing a
red jelly bean, replacing it, and then randomly choosing an orange
jelly bean?
