Question

Worth 15 points please help.

There are 100 prize tickets in a bowl, number 1 to 100. What is the probability that an even numbered prize ticket will be chosen at random, not replaced, then an odd numbered prize will be chosen? Does this represent an independent or dependent event? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

no. even number = 50

no. odd number = 50

P (even ) = 50/ 100= 1/2

P(odd after take 1 even) = 50/99

Dependent event cause the first P affects the second P ( affect the total number of selection)
