Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

In Probability we use the term Bernoullian trials for independent trials.

Explanation:

A sequence of trials are said to be Bernoullian if

(i) there are only two outcomes for each trial ( say a success or a failure)

(ii) Consecutive trials in the sequence are independent

and (iii) probability of success in every trial is a constant (namely p)

It is clear that no trial depends on the previous one here.

Consider drawing of two cards consecutively from a well shuffled deck of cards. Consider the event that cards are both diamonds. If the draw is with replacement the trials are independent ( Bernoullian) . Otherwise they are dependent.

In the former case the probability is ( 1/4) x (1/4)

In the later it is( 1/4) x (12/51)
