This is Stephanie from StatisticHowTo.com and in this video I'll show you how to tell
whether an event is independent or whether it's dependent.
Independent events are things that have basically nothing to do with each other.
An example would be driving to work and winning the lotto.
Your odds of winning lotto had nothing to do with driving to work and vice versa.
Driving to work has nothing to do with winning the lotto.
Though I guess you could argue, you won't drive to work anymore if you won the lotto.
A Dependent event, one event depends on the other.. For example your odds of getting a parking ticket depends on where you park.
If you park legally your odds of getting a parking ticket are practically zero.
If you park illegally then your odds of getting a parking ticket go up and they may go up
depending on where you park illegally. Let's take a look at some basic questions you
can ask to figure out whether your particular event is dependent or independent.
The first question you want to ask is, is it possible for the events to happen in any
order? I'll show you an example of a few events.. Here's three events that can clearly happen in any order.
Tossing a coin and rolling a die. You could roll the die first; it does not
affect the outcome of tossing a coin. Buying a car and then buying a coat.
You can buy the coat first or you can buy the car first.
And drawing cards from a deck. So if you are drawing five cards from a deck
