Both can be seen as individual events. thus the events are independent.
When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect occurrence or non-occurrence of other event, then such events are called independent events.
Symbolically, we have:
Two events A and B are said to be independent iff we have:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]
Given that; A bag contains 3 red chips, 5 green chips, 2 yellow chips, 4 brown chips, and 6 purple chips. One chip is chosen at random, the color noted, and the chip returned to the bag.
The probability of selecting the chip is green;
= 5/20
= 1/4
The probability of selecting the chip is brown;
= 4/20
= 1/5
the probability that the first chip is green and the second is brown
= 1/4 x 1/5
= 1/20
Both can be seen as individual events. thus the events are independent.
