Izzie has a bag of cubes. She has 4 red cubes and 4 orange cubes. She reaches into the bag and randomly pulls out an orange cube. Without replacing it, she reaches in and pulls out another cube. Are these events dependent or independent?

The first is independent but the second is dependent. The "another cube"'s color is dependent on how many of each cored cubes are left.

It is DEPENDENT, because Izzie does not replace the cube that she first pulled out.
