Is the event INDEPENDENT or DEPENDENT? The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability that it lands on red first and then blue?

Back

Independent

Front

Define Independent Events in probability.

Back

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other.

Front

Define Dependent Events in probability.

Back

Two events are dependent if the occurrence of one event affects the occurrence of the other.

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes)

Front

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual outcomes from experiments.

Front

What does it mean for events to be mutually exclusive?

Back

Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time.
