Question

Which of the following probabilities are most likely independent? A. The chance a student will study for his test and the chance he will get an A B. The chance a student practices foul shots regularly and the chance he will make the basketball team C. The chance a student has blue eyes and the chance the student is a girl D. The chance a woman exercises and the chance that she works from home

Answer 1

Both C and D (assuming this is multiple choice). Having blue eyes doesn't cause you to be a girl and exercising doesn't cause you to work at home, those variables aren't dependent.

Answer 2

A. The chance a student will study for his test and the chance he will get an A.
The two events are dependent, because the chance a student will get an A depends on the fact if he will study or not.
B. The chance a student practices foul shots regularly and the chance he will make the basketball team
The events are also dependent. If the student practices full shot he will have a bigger chance to get in the basketball team.
C. The chance a student has blue eyes and the chance the student is a girl. These are independent events.
D. The chance a woman exercises and the chance that she works from home . These are also independent events and have no influence of each other.
