Probability of Independent Events — Quiz

Question 4 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Leona has a bag containing lettered tiles. Which describes dependent events?

Answer
A
removing a consonant, replacing it, and then removing another consonant
B
removing a vowel, not replacing it, and then removing another vowel
C
removing a vowel or a consonant
D
removing a consonant, replacing it, and then removing a vowel

Explanation

Events are dependent when the first event changes the probability of the second. In choice B, the first vowel is not replaced, so the bag has fewer tiles and its vowel-to-tile ratio may change before the second draw. The other two-draw choices replace the first tile, so the first draw does not affect the second draw; choice C describes one draw, not two events.
