Question

Question 2 of 10

You roll two number cubes.
Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.
Let event B= You roll a 6 on the second cube.
Are the events independent or dependent? Why?
A. Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect
the outcome of the second roll.
B. Dependent, because both cubes have six sides.
C. Dependent, because 6 is an even number.
D. Independent, because they have no outcomes in common.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

they are independent, because the result of the second roll is in no way impacted by the result of the first roll.

in both rolls the cube has the same 6 sides. so, the probability of the result of the second roll (just considered by itself) is the same as for the first roll (just by itself).
