Calculating Independent and Dependent Probability

Suppose a number cube is rolled twice. What is the probability that an odd number will show both times?

• 1/3
• 1/2
• 1/6
• 1/4

What is the probability of tossing a coin four times and getting tails each time?

• 1/16
• 1/8
• 1/2
• 1/4

A coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. Find the probability,  P(heads and 7).

• 1/14
• 1/2
• 0
• 1/7

Ten cards numbered 1-10 are placed in a hat. What is the probability of randomly drawing a card with an even number then a card with a number greater than or equal to five if the first card is replaced?

• 1/4
• 2/3
• 3/10
• 3/5

A marble bag contains 3 red marbles, 4 gray marbles, 6 white marbles, and 5 black marbles. What is the probability of randomly drawing a red marble and then a gray marble if the first marble is replaced?

• 1/9
• 1/27
• 1/6
• 2/9

In a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of drawing one ace after another ace on two draws (no replacing)?

• 1/221
• 1/4
• 1/169
• 1/13

There are 4 white marbles, 6 red marbles, and 2 blue marbles. Once a marble is selected, it is not replaced. Find the probability of selecting 2 blue marbles.

• 1/2
• 1/36
• 1/6
• 1/66

Dependent probability happens when the first item is not replaced, causing the total outcomes to decrease by 1.

• true

• false

A bag contains 2 striped cubes, 5 dotted cubes, 5 white cubes and 3 red cubes. What is the probability of drawing two striped cubes in succession, without replacing the first cube drawn?

• independent

• dependent
