Independent and Dependent Probability Challenge

What does it mean when probabilities are independent?

• The events share the same outcomes.

• Both events must occur simultaneously.

• The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another.

• The outcome of one event affects the outcome of another.

In a dependent probability scenario, what happens to the denominator after the first event?

• It increases.

• It decreases.

• It remains the same.

• It resets to its original value.

If you have three blue marbles and draw one, what is the new probability of drawing another blue marble from seven remaining?

• 3/8

• 1/7

• 2/7

• 3/7

What is the effect of not replacing a marble on the probability of subsequent draws?

• Resets the probability

• Increases the probability

• Decreases the probability

• No effect

What is the probability of drawing a red marble and then a blue marble, replacing after each draw?

• 15/64

• 3/28

• 1/4

• 2/7

If the probability of drawing a red marble is 5/8, what happens to this probability after the marble is replaced?
