Virtual Nerd: How Do You Determine if Events Are Independent or Dependent?

Using a card trick as an example, this tutorial explains how to find the probability of independent events. [5:53]

Probability is the likelihood that a given event will take place. So how do you determine the probability of a simple event? Watch this example using marbles for an explanation. [4:36]

This video describes the process for finding the overall probability of drawing certain cards from a deck when the two events are independent, i.e., have no impact, on each other. In the example presented, one card is a queen and the...
