The Deep Dive
When determining whether Event B (drawing a red ball) is dependent or independent of Event A (drawing a green ball), it’s important to recognize that since the first event has an impact on the composition of balls in the box for the second event, these two events are dependent. If a green ball is drawn first, it changes the probability of drawing a red ball next since the total number of balls in the box has decreased, which also affects the likelihood of drawing a red one. For the probabilities provided, let’s consider question 8. The probability that both voters are Democrats can be calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities—\(0.44 \times 0.44 = 0.1936\), which rounds to \(0.194\). The correct answer is (D) 0.194! So remember, when dealing with probabilities of independent events, you just multiply the individual probabilities together, but be careful with dependent events — they require more consideration!
