Probability of Independent Events

Question 5 • EAP-Algebra Functions and Data Analysis B CR

Which is a pair of independent events?

Answer
A
choosing one calendar date for sports practice and then choosing a back-up date
B
choosing one card from a deck and then choosing one card from another deck
C
choosing a pen to write with in class and then choosing another to let a friend use
D
choosing a first place and then a second place work of art

Explanation

Independent events are events where the first outcome does not change the chances of the second. Choosing a card from one deck does not affect the cards in a separate deck, so the two choices are independent. The other choices involve selecting from the same set or assigning distinct places, which can affect the next choice.
