There are 26 prize tickets in a bowl, labeled A to Z. What is the probability that a prize ticket with a vowel will be chosen, not replaced, and then another prize ticket with a vowel will be chosen? Does this represent an independent or dependent event? Explain.

Respuesta :

The probability that a prize ticket with a vowel will be chosen, not replaced, and then another prize ticket with a vowel will be chosen is 0.031 or 3.1%. So, this represents a dependent event.

What are independent and dependent events?

  • Independent events are the events in which the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event.
  • Dependent events are the events in which the outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other event.

Calculation:

It is given that there are 26 prize tickets in a bowl, labeled A to Z.

There are 5 vowels- A, E, I, O, U

So, the probability of choosing a ticket with a vowel will be - (5/26)

Another ticket with a vowel will be chosen without replacing the first ticket. Then, its probability is (4/25)

So, the required probability is,

(5/26) × (4/25) = 2/65 = 0.031

The event of choosing the first ticket with a vowel effect the event of choosing the second ticket with a vowel and vice-versa. So, this represents dependent events.

Therefore, the probability is 3.1 %.
