PREPARED BY: KAROL JOSEF F. FADALLAN
Dependent Vs. Independent Events

Two events are DEPENDENT when the


outcome of the first event influences the
outcome of the second event, otherwise, its
INDEPENDENT.

Probability of 2 Independent Events


Example 1.
A box contains 12 green balls, 10 yellow balls,
and 8 black balls.
Find the probability of getting a green, then a
yellow, in succession.
a. Without replacement
b. With replacement
Solution: Without Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting green ball.
B be the probability of getting a yellow.
P(A) = ; P(B following A) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
Solution: With Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting green ball.
B be the probability of getting a yellow.
P(A) = ; P(B) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
Example 2.
In a regular deck of cards.
Find the probability of getting two red cards in
succession.
a. Without replacement
b. With replacement
Solution: Without Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting the 1st red card.
B be the probability of getting the 2nd red
card.
P(A) = ; P(B following A) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
Solution: With Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting the 1st red card.
B be the probability of getting the 2nd red
card.
P(A) = ; P(B) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
Example 3.
In a regular deck of cards.
Find the probability of getting a red card, then a
spade, in succession.
a. Without replacement
b. With replacement
Solution: Without Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting a red card.
B be the probability of getting a spade.
P(A) = ; P(B following A) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
Solution: With Replacement
Let A be the probability of getting a red card.
B be the probability of getting a spade.
P(A) = ; P(B following A) =
P(A and B) =
P(A and B) =
