Probability of Compound Events

Question 1 • Math Models A

Which are independent events? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
rolling a number cube twice
B
picking 2 marbles from a bag, without replacement
C
choosing a meal/drink combination
D
flipping a coin four times
E
picking 2 cards from a deck, without replacement

Explanation

Events are independent when the outcome of one does not change the probabilities for the other. Rolling a number cube twice and flipping a coin four times are independent because each roll or flip does not affect the next. Choosing a meal and a drink is also independent when one choice does not limit the other. Picking marbles or cards without replacement changes what remains, so those events are dependent.
