PROBABILITY Probability - ratio of ways an event can occur in a specified manner to the total number of ways the event can occur OOO Exclusive - occurrence of one outcome excludes the possibility of another (if coin toss results in heads, it can't be tails) Independent Event - occurrence of one event does not affect subsequent events (coin toss turning up heads on first toss does not affect outcome of second toss) Dependent Event - occurrence of one event does affect subsequent events (selection of a single card from deck does affect the outcome of the second choice) Addition Rule - the probability that one of s occur is the sum of the separate probabiliti Multiplication Rule - the probability that two (or occur is the product of their separate probabilities (1ann) WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF: mutually exclusive events will \dependent events will 1.

The distribution is said to be left- skewed.

Option two is to purchase the machine for $10,000 with a maintenance agreement of $500 per year. After 10 years, you can sell the machine for a salvage value of $5,000.
