Question

I draw a card from the same, previous deck of cards. This deck as 4 Kings, 4 Queens, and 4 Jacks.

After I draw my first card, a Queen, I place the card back into the deck. I then draw a second card.

True or False: In this scenario, the first draw and the second draw are conditional probabilities.

Answer 1

FALSE

In this case, we are drawing a card with replacement, so the first draw and the second draw are not conditional probabilities. This is because when we keep back the first drawn card queen in the deck, the number of cards becomes the original number. Hence the second draw would not be influenced at all by the first draw. Hence no conditional probability.
