5.4 Conditional Probability- Day One
Goal: Understand and solve problems that involve dependent events.
Warm-up:
Consider the following events:
A={the first card is a heart}
B={the second card is a heart}
1. One card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards and is replaced. A second card
is then drawn.
a) Determine P(A).
b) Determine P(B).
2. One card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards and is not replace. A second
card is then drawn.
a) Determine P(A).
b) ?Determine P(B).
Connection:
Why is it not possible to determine P(B) when the first card drawn is not replaced?

Ex. 1 Classify the following events as dependent or independent.
a) The experiment is rolling a die and tossing a coin. The first event is rolling 2 on the
die and the second event is tossing tails on the coin.
b) The experiment is choosing two cards without replacement from a standard deck.
The first event is that the first card is a king and the second event is that the second
card is a king.
c) The experiment is choosing two cards with replacement from a standard deck. The
first event is that the first card is a king and the second event is that the second card is
a king.
Investigation: How do we determine the probability of an event whose probability
depends on the outcome of the other event?
Consider the scenario from Ex.2 Part C).
One card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards and is not replaced. A second
card is then drawn.
A={the first card is a king}
B={the second card is a king}

Ex. 2 Calculating the probability of two events that are dependent.
A computer manufacturer knows that, in a box of 100 chips, 3 will be defective.
Jocelyn will draw 2 chips, at random, from a box of 100 chips. What is the probability
that both of the chips will be defective?

Solving a conditional probability problem
According to a survey, 91% of Canadians own a cellphone. Of these people, 42%
have a smartphone. Determine the probability that any Canadian you met would have
a smartphone.
Your Turn: Susan took two tests. The probability of her passing both tests is 0.6.
The probability of her passing the first test is 0.8. What is the probability of her passing
the second test given that she has passed the first test?

Name:
1. Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. Determine the
probability of the following events. Draw a tree diagram to represent each situation.
a) Both cards are red.
b) Neither card is a club.
2. A bag contains red and blue marbles. Two marbles are drawn without replacement. The probability
of selecting a red marble and then a blue marble is 0.28. The probability of selecting a red marble on
the first draw is 0.5. What is the probability of selecting a blue marble on the second draw, given that
the first marble drawn was red?

Making predictions that involve dependent events.
Two machines A1 and A2 produce all the glass bottles made in a factory. The percentage of broke
bottles produced by these machines are 5% and 8% respectively. Machine A1 produces 60% of the
output.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
a) If a bottle is chosen at random, determine the probability that it is a broken bottle produced by
machine A1.
b) If a bottle is chosen at random, determine the probability that the bottle is not broken.
