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.

Step 1
The probability of this happening is 8/16 = 1/2, since there are 8 red marbles out of a total of 16. Show more…

Determine whether the events are independent or not. A bag contains 5 red and 7 green marbles. Two marbles are drawn without replacement. Are the events "first marble is red" and "second marble is green" independent events or not? Not Independent events Independent events None of these answers

Determine whether the scenario involves independent or dependent events. Then find the probability as a reduced fraction. A bag contains eight red marbles and six blue marbles. You randomly pick a marble and then return it to the bag before picking another marble. Both the first and second marbles are red.

Determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Then find the probability. A bag contains 7 red, 4 blue, and 6 yellow marbles. If 3 marbles are selected in succession, what is the probability of selecting blue, then yellow, then red, if replacement occurs each time?
