Finding a conditional Probability:

Don’t use the numbers in this example post in your post. Please make sure all posts are unique and use different numbers.

It is important to go back and read follow up responses from your instructor.

Example

Let’s look at a standard deck of 52 cards.

What is the probability of getting 2 kings assuming that the first one is not replaced?

4/52 * 3/51 = 1/13*1/17= 1/221

What is the probability of getting 2 kings assuming that the first one is replaced?

4/52 * 4/52 = 1/13 * 1/13 = 1/169

Instructions

Now for your main post do a similar problem using with replacement and without replacement. You can use a card problem as long as it is not 2 kings. Try your best to be original. Do not solve your own problems. Leave them for your classmates to work.

For your response pick 2 classmates. On each post copy their problem, then show your work explaining how you worked each problem, and then show your answer. Of course there will be more than one comment on each person’s work. Stay positive when replying.

To earn full credit for this discussion, you must respond to at least two (2) of your peers and post your initial post by Thursday.

*Only during the first week of class are assignments not due until 11:59 p.m., ET, Sunday. After Week 1, all initial posts will be due Thursday, by 11:59 pm, ET.
