Write a linear equation from a slope and a point

What you'll learn

  • Identify whether events are dependent or independent with 80% accuracy, given a set of real-world scenarios.
  • Calculate the probability of two independent events occurring, expressing the answer as a fraction or percentage, in at least 3 out of 4 problems.
  • Explain, in their own words, the difference between dependent and independent events, providing at least one original example of each.
  • Solve word problems involving dependent events by correctly applying the conditional probability formula in at least 2 out of 3 attempts.
