Given:

Given that Scarlett picks two cards at random with replacement.

Required: Dependent or Independent event

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events whose occurrence is not dependent on any other event.

After replacing the first card, number of cards from which the second card to be picked is 9 and picking up the second card does not depend on the first card drawn.

Hence the events are independent.

Final Answer: Events are independent events.
