Question

Filip goes to a movie theater on weekends. On any given weekend, there is a 50% chance he will buy popcorn, there is a 40% chance he will buy juice, and there is a 20% chance he will buy both popcorn and juice. Mathematically determine whether the two events “buy popcorn” and “buy juice” are independent events. Enter 1 for dependent or 2 for independent.(1 point)

Answer 1

It is 2 independent not dependent thanks baaaa

Answer 2

1. Dependent

The events "buy popcorn" and "buy juice" are dependent events because the probability of buying juice changes if we know that popcorn was also bought.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Since the probability of buying juice (40%) is not affected by whether popcorn is bought or not, the two events "buy popcorn" and "buy juice" are indeed independent events. Thank you for the clarification.
