true or false

Answer 1

the answer to this question is true

Answer 2

The given statement is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

Two events are said to be dependent if the happening of one event affect the happening of the second event.

In the given situation the given events are dependent.

• Since in a deck of 52 playing cards there are 4 jack.

Hence, the probability of drawing a jack in the first draw is: 4/52

• Now this drawn card is not replaced.

This means now in the second draw we have to chose a card from 51 remaining cards and also the number of jack that would be left are: 3

Hence, the probability of drawing a jack in second draw= 3/51

This means that the first event affect the happening of second.

Hence, the events are dependent.
