Question

Are the two events independent or dependent ? Toss a penny and a nickel . Dependent or independent.

Answer 1

These two events are independent, because the way one coin lands does not influence the way the second coin lands. We can then multiply the chances of each event.

Answer 2

Independent.

Explanation:

The results of tossing the penny first will have no impact on the result of tossing the nickel. Both can be seen as individual events.
