A shipment of 5000 printed circuit boards contains 40 that are defective. Two boards will be chosen

Question:

A shipment of 5000 printed circuit boards contains 40 that are defective. Two boards will be chosen at random, without replacement. Consider the two events E₁ = event that the first board selected is defective and E₂ = event that the second board selected is defective.

a. Are E₁ and E₂ dependent events? Explain in words.

b. Let not E₁ be the event that the first board selected is not defective (the event E₁^c). What is P(not E₁)?

c. How do the two probabilities P(E₂|E₁) and P(E₂|not E₁) compare?

d. Based on your answer to Part (c), would it be reasonable to view E₁ and E₂ as approximately independent?
