INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT

EVENTS

What is the difference

between independent and

dependent probabilities?

INDEPENDENT PROBABILITY

Independent probability events are

when you replace an object so it doesn’t

effect the next experiment.

2 different events that don’t effect

each other.

Ex: Spinning a spinner and landing on

yellow with 4 quarters and flipping a cup

and landing on the open end.

DEPENDENT PROBABILITY

Dependent probability events is when you

don’t replace an object so it does effect the

next experiment.

When 2 different events don’t rely on each

other.

Ex: Sandra has 7 lilies, 3 roses, 12 tulips,

and 4 daises. If she picked 8 flowers at

random to clip, what is the probability that

she would pick 3 lilies, 1 rose, and 4 tulips?

THE DIFFERENCE

o The difference of dependent and

independent is when you replace an object

it is independent.

o When you don’t replace an object is when

it is dependent.
