The probability that two independent events both occur is the sum of the probabilities of each independent event. 4. When choosing a card randomly from a deck of cards, choosing a 5 or a spade are not

(i) False

(ii) Selecting a 5 or a spade are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)

Independent events are those events that occur at the same time, i.e. the occurrence of one event does not effects the occurrence of the other.

If A and B are independent events then:

Whereas as if two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of them both taking place at the same time is 0.

Then for events A and B:

Thus, the statement is False.

(ii)

In a standard deck of 52 cards there are:

Spades = 13

Diamond = 13

Heart = 13

Clubs = 13

And each of these 13 cards are:

K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A

If a card labelled as 5 is selected then it could also be a Spade.

And if a spade is selected then the card could be labelled as 5.

So, selecting a 5 or a spade are not independent.

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
