Independent events

Here you will learn about independent events, including what independent events are and how to calculate the probability of independent events occurring.

Students will first learn about independent events as part of statistics and probability in 7 th grade and continue to learn about them in high school.

What are independent events?

Independent events are events whose probability of occurrence is not affected by other events.

For example, if you roll a die twice, the outcome of the first roll and second roll have no effect on each other – they are independent. The chances of rolling a 1, \; 2, \; 3, \; 4, \; 5 or 6 are the same on each roll, as shown in the table.

Independent Events 1 US

If two events are independent then P(A \text { and } B)=P(A) \times P(B).

This is called the multiplication rule.

Let’s look at an example.

If you are rolling a dice twice, we can find the probability of getting two sixes.

The probability of getting a 6 is \cfrac{1}{6}.

So the probability of getting a 6 and a 6 is \cfrac{1}{6} \times\cfrac{1}{6} = \cfrac{1}{36}.

What are independent events?

Common Core State Standards

How does this relate to 7 th grade math and 5 th grade math?

  • Grade 7 – Statistics and Probability (7.SP.C.8) Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.
  • Statistics and Probability – Conditional Probability and the rules of Probability (HS.S.CP.A.2) Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent.

How to calculate the probability of independent events

In order to calculate the probability of independent events:

Confirm that the events are independent.

Identify the probabilities of the events.

Multiply the probabilities.

Independent event examples

Example 1: identifying independent events.

Look at the events below. Which are examples of independent events?

  • Rolling a die and getting a 6 and tossing a coin and getting a head.
  • Tossing two coins and getting two heads.
  • Choosing a green marble from a bag containing blue and yellow marbles and then choosing another green marble from the same bag.
  • A student in Mr. Lopez’s class has brown hair and shoe size 6.

The definition of independence is that the events have no effect on each other.

When you roll a die and toss a coin, the outcome of one does not affect the outcome of the other therefore, the events are independent.

When you toss two coins, the outcome of one coin toss does not affect the other therefore, the events are independent.

When you choose a marble from a bag, you are changing the number of marbles in the bag, and therefore, the outcome of choosing the first marble will have an effect on the outcome of the second drawing for the second marble.

For example, if you choose a green marble the first time, the probability of choosing a green marble the second time will decrease. Therefore, these are dependent events.

The color of someone’s hair does not affect the size of their feet therefore, the events are independent.

Example 2: probability of two independent events

The probability that Tom forgets his homework is 0.3. The probability that Noah forgets his homework is 0.1. The events are independent. Calculate the probability that both Tom and Noah forget their homework on the same day.

You are told in the question that the events are independent.

The first event is that Tom forgets his homework. The probability that Tom forgets his homework is 0.3.

The second event is that Noah forgets his homework. The probability that Noah forgets his homework is 0.1.

The probability that Tom and Noah both forget their homework is

0.3 \times 0.1 = 0.03.

Example 3: probability of three independent events

Rachel tosses three fair coins. Find the probability that all three coins land on tails.

The outcome for each coin is not affected by the other coins therefore, the events are independent.

Since the coins are fair, for each coin, the probability that it lands on tails is \cfrac{1}{2}.

The probability of getting three tails is \cfrac{1}{2} \times \cfrac{1}{2} \times \cfrac{1}{2} = \cfrac{1}{8}.

Example 4: using a tree diagram

Niamh plays a game of ping pong on Saturday and a game of badminton on Sunday. The different outcomes are represented on the tree diagram below.

Independent Events 2 US

Calculate the probability that Niamh wins both games.

The outcome of one game does not affect the outcome of the other game therefore, the events are independent.

The probability that Niamh wins ping pong is 0.4 and the probability that Niamh wins badminton is 0.7.

The probability that Niamh wins ping pong and badminton is 0.4 \times 0.7=0.28.

Example 5: finding the probability of individual events

Zainab has two bags of mixed candy. She picks one candy from each bag. The probability that Zainab picks a lollipop from the first bag is \cfrac{1}{6} and the probability that she picks a lollipop from both bags is \cfrac{1}{15}. What is the probability that she picks a lollipop from the second bag?

The type of candy that is picked from one bag has no effect on the candy picked from the other bag therefore, the events are independent.

The probability that Zainab picks a lollipop from the first bag is \cfrac{1}{6} and the probability that she picks a lollipop from both bags is \cfrac{1}{15}.

If you call the probability of picking a lollipop from the second bag P(L) then \cfrac{1}{6} \times \text{P(L)}=\cfrac{1}{15}.

Solving this:

Example 6: finding the probability of individual events

Rosie flips a biased coin twice. The probability that Rosie gets two heads is 0.64. Find the probability that Rosie gets a head on a single coin flip.

The results of the first coin flip will not affect the second coin flip, so the events are independent.

Here, you only know that the probability that Rosie gets two heads is 0.64.

If you call the probability that Rosie gets a head P(H) then,

P(H) \times P(H)=0.64

The probability of getting a head on a single coin flip is 0.8.

Teaching tips for independent events

  • Let students experience independent events in the classroom, but using examples that involve dice, coins, cards, marbles and other commonly found objects.
  • Have students explore the sample spaces of independent events before introducing the rule. Many students will figure out the multiplication rule without being told. And even if they don’t, they will have more than one strategy to utilize when solving.

Easy mistakes to make

  • Multiplying or dividing fractions incorrectly To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. To divide fractions, find the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply.
  • Adding probabilities instead of multiplying them For independent events P(A \text { and } B)=P(A) \times P(B). For mutually exclusive events P(A \text { or } B)=P(A) + P(B).

Dependent Events

Analysis: The probability that the first card is a queen is 4 out of 52. However, if the first card is not replaced, then the second card is chosen from only 51 cards. Accordingly, the probability that the second card is a jack given that the first card is a queen is 4 out of 51.

Conclusion: The outcome of choosing the first card has affected the outcome of choosing the second card, making these events dependent.

Definition:  Two events are  dependent  if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed.

Now that we have accounted for the fact that there is no replacement, we can find the probability of the dependent events in Experiment 1 by multiplying the probabilities of each event.

Probabilities:

P(queen on first pick)  = 
52
 
P(jack on 2nd pick given queen on 1st pick)  = 
51
 
P(queen and jack)  =       =   = 
52 51 2652 663

Experiment 1 involved two compound, dependent events. The probability of choosing a jack on the second pick given that a queen was chosen on the first pick is called a  conditional probability .

The  conditional probability  of an event B in relationship to an event A is the probability that event B occurs given that event A has already occurred. The notation for conditional probability is P(B|A) [pronounced as  The probability of event B given A ].

The notation used above does  not  mean that B is divided by A. It means  the probability of event B given that event A has already occurred . To find the probability of the two dependent events, we use a modified version of  Multiplication Rule 1 , which was presented in the last lesson.

Multiplication Rule 2:  When two events, A and B, are dependent, the probability of both occurring is:

P(A and B)  =  P(A)  ·  P(B|A)

Let’s look at some experiments in which we can apply this rule.

Probabilities P(Girl 1 and Girl 2) = P(Girl 1) and P(Girl 2|Girl 1)

   =     
30 29
 = 
870
 = 
145

Probabilities: P(3 defectives)  = 

         =   = 
20 19 18 6840 1140

Probabilities: P(10 and 9 and 8 and 7)  = 

             =   = 
52 51 50 49 6,497,400 812,175

Probabilities: P(3 aces)  = 

         =   = 
52 51 50 132,600 5,525

Summary: Two events are dependent if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed. The conditional probability of an event B in relationship to an event A is the probability that event B occurs given that event A has already occurred. The notation for conditional probability is P(B|A). When two events, A and B, are dependent, the probability of both occurring is: P(A and B)  =  P(A)  ·  P(B|A)

homework practice independent and dependent events

As a teacher, it is essential to help your students understand the concepts of independent and dependent events. Independent events are those that are not influenced by other events, whereas dependent events are those that are affected by the outcome of another event. This concept is crucial in probability, and it is important that students understand it thoroughly. Here are some activities that you can use to help teach students to identify independent and dependent events.

1. Probability Darts Game

This activity involves using a dartboard and individual darts with different probabilities written on them. The students are divided into groups, and they take turns throwing their darts at the board. Before each throw, the students predict which number they will hit. The teacher then discusses whether the events are independent or dependent. For instance, if a student aims for a section that is already occupied by another dart, the outcome of that throw is dependent on the previous throw. If the student aims for an open section, then the event is independent.

2. The Probability Walk

This activity involves assigning probabilities to different outcomes of an experiment. The teacher takes the students for a walk and conducts a probability experiment at each stop. For example, at one stop, the teacher may flip a coin, and the students predict whether it lands on heads or tails. At another stop, the teacher may ask the students to predict the color of the next car that passes by. After each experiment, the teacher discusses whether the events are independent or dependent.

3. The Game of Rock-Paper-Scissors

This game is a classic probability activity that can be used to teach students about independent and dependent events. The students pair up and play several rounds of rock-paper-scissors. The teacher then asks the students to determine whether the outcome of each round is independent or dependent. For instance, if a student wins a round, their next move may be influenced by their previous success, making the events dependent.

4. Probability Bubbles

This activity involves filling a bowl with water and soap bubbles. The students blow bubbles and predict which bubble will burst first. The teacher then asks the students to determine whether the events are independent or dependent. For example, if one student blows a large bubble that pops, it may cause smaller bubbles to pop as well, making the events dependent.

5. The Game of Heads or Tails

This game requires a coin and a partner. One student flips the coin and calls out heads or tails. The other student predicts whether the coin lands on the called side. The teacher then discusses whether the events are independent or dependent. If one student gets several correct answers in a row, the outcome of the next flip may be influenced by their previous successes or failures, making the events dependent.

In conclusion, these activities are a great way to help students understand independent and dependent events. By using real-life scenarios and games, you can make the lessons more interactive, fun, and engaging. With practice, students will be able to identify independent and dependent events confidently, which will help them in their future probability studies.
