Question

There are 4 green marbles and 6 yellow marbles in a bag. You want to find the compound probability of picking a green marble and a yellow marble. However, you do not put back the marble back into the bag. Is this an example of a dependent event or independent event?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dependent event because the sample space depends on the first event

Step-by-step explanation:

10 marbles total

4 green

6 yellow

1st pick green:  Probability=  4/10

2nd pick yellow: Probability= 6/9

Dependent event because the sample space depends on the first event
