  1.      Write whether the events listed in the following question are either “independent” or “dependent”.  Find the probability of drawing a heart and then a diamond from a standard deck of 52-cards when you DO NOT replace the first card before selecting the second card.

1.      Write whether the events listed in the following question are either “independent” or “dependent”.  The owner of a one-man lawn mowing business owns four old and unreliable riding mowers.  As long as one of the four is working he can stay productive.  From past experience, one of the mowers is unusable 10 percent of the time, one 9 percent of the time, one 27 percent of the time and one 11 percent of the time.  Find the probability that all three mowers are unusable on a given day. 

1.      Write whether the events listed in the following question are either “independent” or “dependent”.  You are playing a game that involves drawing 3 numbers from a hat.  There are 20 pieces of paper numbered 1 to 20 in the hat.  Each number is replaced after it is drawn.  What is the probability that each number is greater than 15 or less than 4?
