A bag contains 20 checkers—10 red and 10 black. Determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Find the indicated probability; selecting 2 black checkers when they are chosen at random without replacement.
What is Not replacing the 1st checker means that there will be fewer checkers to choose from, affecting the probability of the 2nd selection, so the events are dependent......
P(black and black) = P(black l black) = 10/20 x 9/18= 9/38.
