Answer:
Option 2 is a representation of independent events.
In option 2, the simulation involves randomly pulling a piece of hard candy out of a bag and eating it, then pulling out another piece. The act of pulling out one piece of candy does not affect the probability of pulling out another piece, as each piece is independent of the others.
In contrast, the other simulations involve dependent events. In option 1, the probability of selecting a slip of paper changes after each selection because the slips of paper are not replaced. In option 3, the probability of getting a certain outcome on the second spin is influenced by the outcome of the first spin. In option 4, the probability of selecting a certain card for the second draw is affected by which card was selected and removed from the deck in the first draw.
