this is an independent theorectical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a 4 on a number cube

If the number cube, is from 1 to 6,

the probability of rolling a 4 on a number cube = 1/6

3 red, 2 black, and 5 yellow marbles

Total marbles = 3+2+5 = 10

Probability of pulling a red = 3/10

From the above, we can see the picking of a number cube doesnot depend on the picking of a red marble.

An independent event is an event where by the outcome of the first event does not affect the second event.

Hence, this is an independent theorectical probability
