B. rolling a number cube and spinning a spinner
C. choosing a card from a deck, replacing it, then choosing another card

1 answer
D. choosing a cookie at random, eating it, and then choosing another at random is an example of a dependent event because the probability of choosing the second cookie is affected by the choice of the first cookie. If the first cookie is eaten, then there is one less cookie to choose from for the second choice, affecting the probability of choosing a specific cookie.
