Question

1. determine if the following is an example of an independent or dependent probability and explain your thinking. \joshua grabs a green water balloon, throws it at his sister then grabs a red water balloon.\

Explanation:

In independent probability, the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. When Joshua grabs a green water - balloon and then a red water - balloon, the act of grabbing the green balloon does not change the probability of grabbing the red balloon. The number of red balloons available and the total number of balloons (assuming a fixed set of balloons) remain the same regardless of the green balloon being taken first.

Answer:

This is an example of independent probability.
