6.4 Find Probabilities of Compound Events Example 1 Find the probability of A or B You randomly choose a card from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Solution b.Because there is an Ace of spades, choosing an Ace or spade are ___________________. There are 4 Aces, 13 spades, and 1 Ace of spades. a.Find the probability that you choose a 9 or a King. b.Find the probability that you choose an Ace or a spade. overlapping events

6.4 Find Probabilities of Compound Events Example 2 Find the probability of A and B You roll two number cubes. What is the probability that you roll a 1 first and a 2 second? Solution The events are _____________. The number on one number cube does not affect the other. independent P(1) P(2)

6.4 Find Probabilities of Compound Events Example 3 Find the probability of A and B Markers A box contains 8 red markers and 3 blue markers. You choose one marker at random, do not replace it, then choose a second marker at random. What is the probability that both markers are blue? Solution Because you do not replace the first marker, the events are __________. Before you choose a marker, there are 11 markers, 3 of them are blue. After you choose a blue marker, there are 10 markers left and two of them are blue. So, the ______________________ that the second marker is blue given that the first marker is blue, is dependent 3 10 conditional probability
