Step by step solution

01

Given information

Suppose that you have eight cards.

Five are green and three are yellow.

The cards are well shuffled.

Suppose that you randomly draw two cards, one at a time, without replacement.

Let G1 = first card is green

Let G2 = second card is green

02

Explanation (part a)

The probability of first card is green is given by P(G1)=58

The probability of second card is green is given by P(G2)=47

The probability of first card is yellow is given byP(Y1)=38

The probability of second card is yellow is given by P(Y2)=27

The tree diagram of the situation is well-explained below

03

Explanation (part b)

P(G1ANDG2)=P(G1).P(G2)P(G1ANDG2)=58×47P(G1ANDG2)=2056

04

Explanation (part c)

Probability of at least one green

P(atleastonegreen)=P(GG)+P(GY)+P(YG)P(atleastonegreen)=58×47+58×27+38×47P(atleastonegreen)=2056+1056+1256P(atleastonegreen)=4256

05

Explanation (part d)

P(G1G2)=P(G1ANDG2)P(G2)P(G1G2)=205647=58

06

Explanation (part e)

No, they are dependent because the first card is drawn in the bag before the second card is drawn; the composition of cards in the bag doesn't remain the same from draw one to draw two.

Forty-eight percent of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino California registered voters, 55%prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.6%of all Californians are Latino. In this problem, let: • C = Californians (registered voters) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. L = Latino Californians. Suppose that one Californian is randomly selected.

Are L and C independent events? Show why or why not.
