Question

May anyone give me an example of a independent and an dependent probability word problem about food?

Answer 1

Dependent: Ventus has a bag of chex mix and he spent his time counting and organizing the food. There are 13/31 white pieces of chex, 10/31 pretzels, and 8/31 cracker bites.  he wants to see if he can grab two white chex pieces, one at a time without replacing the first attempt. He reaches his hand into the bag and gets a white chex piece and doesn't replace it. What is the probability that Ventus will grab another white chex?
 independent: Cabel has a bowl of fruit and his sister won't let him take one and look at it for some strange reason/ however, she does tell him the probability of picking each fruit out of 12. 2/6 oranges, 3/12 apples, and 5/12 bananas. He must replace every fruit he picks. What is the probability of picking an orange?
