Probability of Independent Events — Quiz

Question 8 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Which is a pair of dependent events?

Answer
A
removing a marble from a bag, not putting it back, and then removing a second marble
B
flipping a quarter and then flipping a nickel
C
rolling a number cube and then choosing one letter from the alphabet
D
spinning a spinner one time and then spinning it a second time

Explanation

Events are dependent when the outcome of the first event changes the probabilities for the second. Removing a marble without putting it back changes how many marbles—and which colors or types—remain in the bag, so it can affect the second draw. The other actions use separate trials and do not change the outcomes available for the next event.
