Explain why picking a red card from a pack of cards and picking a King from a pack of cards are not independent events.
Ronda has to take a three-part language examination paper. The first part is speaking. She has a 0.7 chance of passing this part. The second part is listening. She has a 0.6 chance of passing this part. The third part is writing. She has a 0.8 chance of passing this part.(a) If she passes all three parts, her father will give her £20. What is the probability that she gets the money?(b) If she passes two parts only, she can resit the other part. What is the chance she will have to resit?(c) If she fails all three parts, she will be thrown off the course. What is the chance she is thrown off the course?
Roy regularly goes to Bristol by train. The probability of the train arriving in Bristol late is 0.05. The probability of it raining in Bristol is 0.8. What is the probability of:(a) Roy getting to Bristol on time and it not raining(b) Roy travelling to Bristol five days in a row and not being late at all
(c) Roy travelling to Bristol three days is a row and it raining every day?
What is the probability of rolling the same number on a dice five times in a row?

Sam has two bags of marbles. Bag A contains 9 red marbles and 6 green marbles.Bag B contains 3 red marbles and 7 green marbles. Sam rolls a fair six-sided dice once. If she rolls a six she takes a marble from bag A. If she does not roll a six she takes a marble from bag B. Calculate the probability that Sam chooses a red marble.

Draw your brain
What have you learnt?
In your brain, write or draw everything you can remember about accurately calculating the probability of independent events. It can be a skill or a reflection, or something else that might be prominent in your brain.
