MA19.8A.44
Explain whether two events, A and B, are independent, using two-way tables or tree diagrams. [Algebra I with Probability, 38]

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

Methods to find probability of simple and compound events.

Skills

Students are able to:

Interpret the given information in the problem.
Accurately determine the probability of simple and compound events.
Accurately calculate the product of the probabilities of two events.

Understanding

Students understand that:

Events are independent if one occurring does not affect the probability of the other occurring, and that this may be demonstrated mathematically by showing the truth of P(A & B) = P(A) x P(B).
