Final answer:

In this case, selecting a king from the deck first affects the probability of selecting a queen as the second card, making the events dependent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether selecting a king from a standard deck of 52 cards, not replacing it, and then selecting a queen is independent or dependent.

In this case, if we select a king from the deck first, the probability of selecting a queen as the second card will be affected by the fact that one king has already been removed from the deck. Therefore, the events are dependent, and this is sampling without replacement.
