Question: I do not understand how to find the values in the table do we just multiply the probabilities together? Part 1: Independent and NonIndependent Events
I do not understand how to find the values in the table do we just multiply the probabilities together?


Part 1: Independent and NonIndependent Events We will start with distinguishing between independent and non-independent events. We'll use the two spinners pictured below. Spinner I Spinner 2 3. Use the tree diagram to determine all possible outcomes of the experiment and the probability of each outcome. Spinner 1 Spinner 2 Outcome Probability R R G B G 4. Use your work in #3 to help find P(1st spinner Y or 2"d spinner Y). 5. Find P(1st spinner Y) + P(2"d spinner Y). Why isn't this answer the same as your answer to #4? 6. Write in words an example of events A and B for this experiment so that P( AorB)=P(A)+P(B) . This is only true when A and B have what relationship? 7. Determine the following probabilities. a. P(blue on spinner 1 or blue on spinner 2) b. P(same color on both spinners or green on spinner 1) c. P(yellow on spinner 1 or different colors on both spinners)
