Answer:
The correct answer is 0.0330 and the events are independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of balls in Bill's golf bag = 17
Let A be the event of drawing a white ball and B be the event of drawing an orange ball.
Number of white balls Bill has in his bag is 9.
Probability of the event A in the first draw = [tex]\frac{9}{17}[/tex]
Number of orange ball in Bill's bag is 1.
Probability of event B in the second draw = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
Thus total probability for Tim to tee off with a white ball and putt with an orange ball = [tex]\frac{9}{272}[/tex] = 0.0330
The above events are independent on each other.
