Suppose that you are asked to pick a card from a deck of 52 cards. Once you have selected a card, you place it face down on the

table. You are then asked to selected another card from the deck. Is the event of you picking the first card going to affect the probability of the second card selected, why or why not? Are these events independent or dependent?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second card is influenced by the first only in that you have not replaced the first card. That makes a difference.

1/52 is the probability for the first card.

1/51 is the probability for the second card.

They are independent events. Drawing the 7 of diamonds does not make the chances of drawing the Ace of Spades other than the 7 came first and the probability of getting the Ace is slightly larger.
