Probability of Independent Events — Quiz

Question 5 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Spinning a 4-section spinner twice can be described as which type of event?

Answer
A
It is a dependent event. The outcome of the second spin is affected by the outcome of the first spin.
B
It is an independent event. The outcome of the second spin is unaffected by the outcome of the first spin.
C
It is an impossible event. A spinner cannot land in two sections.
D
It is a simple event. Spinning a spinner is a single event.

Explanation

Each spin has the same four possible sections, and the result of the first spin does not change the spinner or affect the result of the second. Therefore, the spins are independent events, as choice A states.
