 Two events are independent if the
occurrence of one of the events gives
us no information about whether or not
the other event will occur; that is, the
events have no influence on each
other.
 Examples:
Winning a game and running
out of milk.
Having a large shoe size and
having a high IQ.
 When the outcome of one
event affects the outcome of
another event, they are
dependent events.
 Examples:
Parking in a no-parking zone and getting
a parking ticket.
232 Using of prohibited drugs and going
to jail.
Having high grades and getting a
scholarship
