You pick a number between 1,000 and 5,000. Then you flip a coin. Identify if the two events are independent or dependent. Explain. (2 points)

Answer 1

The two events are independent.

The number chosen between 1,000 and 5,000 has no effect on the outcome of flipping a coin. The probability of getting either heads or tails on the coin flip remains the same regardless of the number chosen. Therefore, the events are independent of each other.
