Event A: You select a green poker chip

Event B: You select a white poker chip.

Determine whether the following statement is True or False: Events A and B are statistically independent.

Answer 1

Answer:

P[You select a green poker chip] = 1/7

P[You select a white poker chip] = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of chips beg contain = 7 chips

Number of red chips = 4 chips

Number of blue chips = 1 chips

Number of green chips = 1 chips

Number of white chips = 1 chips

Find:

Event A: You select a green poker chip  

Event B: You select a white poker chip

Computation:

P[You select a green poker chip] = Number of green chips / Number of chips beg contain

P[You select a green poker chip] = 1/7

P[You select a white poker chip] = Number of white chips / Number of chips beg contain

P[You select a white poker chip] = 1/7
