1. 7:12-4 Compound Events

2. vocab Compound event- two or more events Independent events- if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of another Dependent events- occurrence of an event affects the probability of the occurrence of a second event.

3. Probability of an independent event Find the probability of pulling two twizzlers if there are 10 twizzlers in 40 pieces of candy and you put the candy back each time. P(twizzler first time) = 10/40 = ¼ P(twizzler 2 nd time)( = 10/40 = ¼ (since we put the first back, we still have 40 pieces of candy P(twizzler twice) = P(twizzler) x P(twizzler) P(twizzler twice) = ¼ x ¼ = 1/16

4. samples You flip a coin 3 times. P(heads, heads, heads) You spin a spinner with red, blue, yellow, green and black parts. P(red then yellow)

5. We are rearranging the seating chart. What is the probability of Grady being picked 2 nd ? What is the chance someone is picked first? 1/13 So what is the chance someone is picked 2 nd ? 1/12 because there is one less person

7. Probability of an dependent event We are picking seats. What is the probability that Cecilia is picked first then Grady is picked second? What is the probability of Cecilia being picked? 1/13 What is the probability of Grady being picked? (1/12 because someone was already chosen) P (Cecilia, then Grady) = P(Cecila) x P(Grady after Cecilia is chosen) P(Cecilia then Grady) = 1/13 x 1/12 = 1/156

8. There are 26 cards labeled A-Z in a bucket. What is the probability of finding T then E without replacing the first letter?
