Answer:
the events are dependent
Probability that both of the apples that Jeremy eats are green is 1/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Two events are dependent if the occurrence of one event affect the occurrence of the other. In this case, there are 8 red and 4 green apples. The probability of selecting one apple is the same if the apple is replaced. In this case, the apple is eaten. This means that the probability of selecting another would change. Thus,
the events are dependent
Number of red apples = 8
number of green apples = 4
Total number of apples = 8 + 4 = 12
Probability of selecting the first green apple is
4/12 = 1/3
We are left with 11 apples and 3 green apples
Probability of selecting another green apple = 3/11
Probability that both of the apples that Jeremy eats are green is 1/3 x 3/11
Probability that both of the apples that Jeremy eats are green is 1/11
