Question

Which of the following is an example of dependent events?

Question 4 options:

rolling a die and flipping a coin

dealing two cards from a standard deck

picking a card from a deck and rolling a die

none of the above

Answer 1

Two events are dependent if happening of event effects or infleucnes the happening of another event

Here dealing two cards from a standard deck is an example of dependent events since if the outcome on the first card will have a effect on outcome on the second card

For example if i draw a heart out of deck of cards, the probability of drawing the heart = 13/52

= 1/4

Now if want to draw an another heart, the probability will be = 12/51

Clearly drawing first heart has an effect on drawing the second heart as the probability has changed

So Answer is Option B

dealing two cards from a standard deck
