Determine whether the following individual event are independent or dependent. Then find the probability of the combined event.

Randomly drawing and immediately eating two red pieces of candy in a row from a bag that contains 55 red pieces of candy out of 49 pieces of candy total.

Respuesta :

Answer:

dependent and 1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

These two individual events are dependent on each other as first they draw it and then instant they eat two red candy pieces

Now the probability of the combined event is as follows

P(Probability of combined event)  is

[tex]= P(Event 1) \times P \frac{Event 2}{Event 1}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{55}{49} \times \frac{54}{48}[/tex]

[tex]= 1.122 \times 1.125[/tex]

= 1.26

We simply applied the above formula so that we can get the dependency or independency plus the probability of the combined event
