Box 1 contains 3 red and 8 yellow balls, whereas Box 2 contains 2 red and 1 yellow balls. A ball is drawn from a randomly selected Box. Let A be the event that the ball is red, and B the event that the ball came from Box 2. Are they independent?

Step 1
Step 1:** Calculate the probability of event A (drawing a red ball): - P(A) = P(A and from Box 1) + P(A and from Box 2) - P(A) = (3/11) + (2/3) - P(A) = 1/3 ** Show more…

There are two boxes, box X and box Y. Box X contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls, whereas box Y contains 2 red balls and 3 blue balls. A box is chosen at random and then a ball is chosen at random from this box. If a red ball is chosen, what is the probability it was from box X? Given that a box has been chosen, are the events "choosing a red ball" and "choosing box X" conditionally independent?

Determine if each of the following events are independent. A bag contains eight red marbles and four blue marbles and four blue marbles. You randomly pick a marble and then pick a second marble without returning the first marble to the bag. The first marble is red, and the second marble is blue.
Decide whether each of the following pairs of events are dependent or independent. A red and a green die are rolled. $A$ is the event that the red die comes up even, and $B$ is the event that the green die comes up even.
