Question
please answer this. very confusing for me
- Two events are independent events if the occurrence of one
event does not affect the likelihood that the other event will occur. - Two events are dependent events if the occurrence of one event does affect the likelihood that the other event will occur.
- Two events are disjoint or mutually exclusive or non-overlapping if they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if we flip a coin it can only show a head OR a tail, not both.
- Two events are overlapping if they can occur at the same time. For example, when you roll a six-sided die, you could simultaneously get an even number (Event-1) and a prime number (Event-2) (i.e. when you roll the die and get a 2). Therefore, events of getting a prime number and an even number are overlapping and NOT mutually exclusive.

- Sally and Mike are playing frisbee at the beach. When Sally throws the frisbee the probability is 0.13 that it comes back to Sally, the probability is 0.7 that it goes to Mike, and the probability is 0.17 that the dog runs away with the frisbee. When Mike throws the frisbee there is a 0.62 probability that Sally gets it, a 0.27 probability that it comes back to Mike, and a 0.11 probability that the dog runs away with the frisbee. Treat this as a 3--state Markov Chain with the dog being an absorbing state. (a) If Mike has the frisbee, what is the expected value for the number of times the frisbee will be thrown before the dog gets the frisbee and runs away with it? (Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.) times thrown (b) If Mike has the frisbee, what is the expected value for the number of times Mike will throw the frisbee before the dog gets it?
