Selecting a green marble from a bag of 10 different coloredmarbles and then selecting a second green marble without puttingthe first backOD. Owning cows and living on a dairy farm

Answer 1

Independent events are events where one event occurring or not does not affect whether the other one happens.

Pulling two cards out of a deck of cards, when you don't replace the first card, or pulling two marbles from a bag, where you don't replace the first marble, are not independent. By removing the first card/marble, you've change the situation for the second draw.

Using a spinner and rolling a die are totally independent, since they are different objects and what happens on one does not impact what will happen on the other.

And if you live on a dairy farm, that creates a better chance of being involved with dairy production and cows, so those are not independent.

Option A has two independent events.
