12.5 – Probability of Compound Events

Probability of Independent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

Probability of Independent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

Ex. 1 A bag contains 6 black marbles, 9 blue marbles, 4 yellow marbles, and 2 green marbles. A marble is selected, replaced, and a second marble is selected. Find the probability of selecting a black marble, ehtn a yellow marble.

Probability of Independent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

Ex. 1 A bag contains 6 black marbles, 9 blue marbles, 4 yellow marbles, and 2 green marbles. A marble is selected, replaced, and a second marble is selected. Find the probability of selecting a black marble, ehtn a yellow marble.

P(black, yellow) = P(black) · P(yellow)

Probability of Independent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

Find the probability of selecting a black marble, ehtn a yellow marble.P(black, yellow) = P(black) · P(yellow)= 6_ . 4_ = 24_ ≈ 5.4% 21 21 441

Probability of Dependent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B following A)

Probability of Dependent EventsP(A and B) = P(A) · P(B following A)

Ex. 2 Cynthia randomly draws three cards from a standard deck one at a time without replacement. Find the probability that the first card is a diamond, the second a spade, and the third a diamond.

Mutually Exclusive EventsP(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Mutually Exclusive EventsP(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
