(Events are called independent)
Defination:→
An independent event is an event that has no connection to another event’s chances of happening (or not happening). In other words, the event has no effect on the probability of another event occurring.
When two events are independent, one event does not influence the probability of another event.
Example:→
if you choose a card from a deck of 52 cards, your probability
of getting a king is 4 out of 52. Mathematically,
you can write it like this:
P(king) = (number of kings in a
deck of cards / total number of cards in a deck = 4/52 = 1/13
If you replace the king and choose again (assuming the cards are shuffled), the events are independent. Your probability remains the same. Choosing a card over and over again would be an independent event , because each time you choose a card (a “trial” in probability) it’s a separate, non-connected event.
When selecting two cards from a standard deck of cards and the first card is replaced,...
Two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is not replaced before the second card is selected. Find the probability of selecting a seven and then selecting a jack.The probability of selecting a seven and then selecting a jack is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is not replaced before the second card is selected. Find the probability of selecting a two and then selecting a three. The probability of selecting a two and then selecting a three is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The first card is not replaced before the second card is selected. Find the probability of selecting a six and then selecting an eight. The probability of selecting a six and then selecting an eight is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck. (a) Compute the probability of randomly selecting a two or four. (b) Compute the probability of randomly selecting a two or four or ace. (c) Compute the probability of randomly selecting a three or heart.
Consider a standard 52-card deck from which one card is randomly selected and not replaced. Then, a second card is randomly selected. Define the two events as given. Complete parts a) and b) below. A= The first card is a red card B= The second card is a king a) Are these two events mutually exclusive? Why or why not? A.The events are mutually exclusive. The event of selecting a red card as the first card can occur at the...
