Answer 1

The concept of independence in everyday life experiences refers to situations where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. In the options provided, the best explanation of independence is:

C. selecting a fruit from a basket without looking and replacing it until you get your desired fruit.

In this scenario, after each selection, the fruit is replaced back into the basket, meaning that each selection is independent of previous selections. The outcome of one selection does not influence the next one, which is the key characteristic of independent events.
