Question

Identify if the two events are independent or dependent. Explain 3 sentences

Answer 1

1. The first event is flipping a coin and the second event is rolling a die. These two events are independent because the outcome of flipping a coin does not affect the outcome of rolling a die.

2. The first event is drawing a card from a deck and the second event is drawing a second card from the same deck without replacing the first card. These two events are dependent because the outcome of the first event affects the probability of the second event.

3. The first event is selecting a yellow marble from a bag and the second event is selecting another yellow marble from the same bag without replacement. These two events are dependent because the probability of selecting a yellow marble on the second draw is affected by the outcome of the first draw.
