Asked by Caroline
Will you please check my work? :)
Choose ALL (if any) applicable terms for the events described, then calculate the probability of the events.
Jason has a cube with colored sides: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
1. Rolling a red or a primary color.
Choices: overlapping event, compound event, mutually exclusive event, or permutation
My Work: I choose overlapping event and compound event. 1/6 + 3/6 - 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2
2. Rolling orange or a primary color.
Choices: overlapping event, compound event, mutually exclusive event, or permutation
My Work: I choose compound event and mutually exclusive event 1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6 = 2/3
3. Rolling the cube twice, Jason rolls yellow and then green.
Choices: overlapping event, dependent event, independent event, or permutation
My work: I choose independent event. 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
Thanks so much for your help!
