Caroline has 4 quarters and 10 dimes in her pocket. She reaches in and randomly pulls out a quarter. Without replacing the coin, she then reaches in and pulls out another coin.

Are these events dependent or independent?

This is dependent because the first coin was not replaced thus changing the sample space for the second coin draw.
