Question

Tyler packed 8 shirts for a trip. Six of the shirts are short-sleeved. He randomly selects a shirt from his suitcase, replaces the shirt, and then selects another.

options for blank 1: independent, dependent

options for blank 2 :15/28, 9/16, 3/4, 9/14

Answer 1

independent

9/16

Explanation:

The events are independent events since he puts the first shirt back

P( short sleeve) = number of short sleeve)/ total

= 6/8 = 3/4

P ( short sleeve, short sleeve) = 3/4 * 3/4 = 9/16
