Seventh graders begin learning about compound events by considering independent events. They will consider everyday objects with known probabilities. Students will represent sample spaces using lists, tables, and tree diagrams in order...

The somewhat tricky differences between mutually exclusive, non-mutually exclusive, independent, and dependent events are defined here. Common items such as coins, colored cubes, and a deck of cards are all part of the easy-to-understand...

This site provides the rules for mutually exclusive events, non-mutually exclusive events, independent events, and dependent events for probability.

This site gives a description of dependent events along with an example. Be sure to follow the links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving dependent events...

Get practice working with independent and dependent events. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This activity provides the opportunity to explore the difference between finding the probability of independent events and dependent events. It also addresses how to use a tree diagram when calculating conditional probabilities.

Mini lessons are provided for learning concepts in the world of probability and statistics. Topics include counting and probability, permutations, combinations, independent and dependent events, and distributions. Links to online...

A module for students to build on prior understanding of probability to include compound events; examine independent and dependent events, and describe events as subsets of a sample space,; determine whether events are independent or...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Find the probability of a series of events in which the outcome of one has no bearing on the outcome of the other(s) and in which it does.

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of the probability of independent events. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the...

Find dependent probabilities like P(A | B) or P(B | A) for a variety of contexts. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explains conditional probability. Includes videos, numerous examples, and problems for practice and review.

Tree diagrams are the focus of this learning tutorial. The lesson includes important vocabulary along with two videos and PowerPoint presentations that demonstrate how to create tree diagrams with both independent and dependent events.

Determine if two events are dependent or independent. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognize and apply the definition of conditional probability to find probabilities in finite sample spaces.

Given problem situations, the student will find the probability of the dependent and independent events.

An explanation with examples of how to calculate probabilities of two dependent or independent events by multiplying their probabilities. Practice problems are provided along with their explanations.

This set contains statistics questions regarding probability as a relative frequency. The student will recognize event pairs: complementary events, mutually exclusive events, and independent events, and use them in probability calculations.

Find dependent probabilities like P(A | B) or P(B | A) for a variety of contexts.

An explanation with examples of how to calculate probabilities of two dependent or independent events by multiplying their probabilities. Two practice problems are provided along with their explanations.

Determine if two events are dependent or independent.

On school days, Janelle sometimes eats breakfast and sometimes does not. After studying probability for a few days, Janelle says, "The events 'I eat breakfast' and 'I am late for school' are independent." Explain what this means in terms...

Students will continue to apply their understanding of compound independent events. They will calculate probabilities and represent sample spaces with visual representations.

This site gives a very brief definition of independent events. It provides a few example problems for further understanding.
