Basic probability, the topic of the previous screen, is also known as independent probability - the chance of selecting a marble was not dependent on any previous outcome. Only the relative numbers of marbles in the box at the moment of selection determined the probability of choosing a certain marble.
Dependent probability, on the other hand, refers to situations in which the chance of an outcome occurring is influenced by a previous outcome. In such instances, the probability of both outcomes occurring is:
Probability of Outcome 1 Probability of Outcome 2 = Probability of Outcomes 1 and 2
The following example will illustrate:
A box contains 3 blue marbles, 2 green marbles, and 4 red marbles. If one marble is selected at random, and a second marble is selected without replacing the first, what is the probability that both marbles chosen are blue?
Probability of blue on 1st draw:
Probability of blue on 2nd draw:
