Question

Are the events of drawing a rook from the bag of white

pieces and then drawing the king from the bag of

black pieces dependent or independent events? Find

the probability of this compound event.

Answer 1

Independent events, 1/16

Explanation:

What we must take into account is that they are 2 different bags, because in one bag are the black pieces and in another bag are the white feed, regardless of which piece is removed, one event has nothing to do with the other event being different bags.

Which means that they are independent events.

And the probability for each case would be 1/16, because the probability is one piece out of 16 that is in each bag.
