Question

You roll two number cubes.

Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.
Let event 8 = You roll a 6 on the second cube.
Are the events independent or dependent? Why?
A. Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesnt affect
the outcome of the second roll.
B. Independent, because they have no outcomes in common.
C. Dependent, because both cubes have six sides.
D. Dependent, because 6 is an even number,

Answer 1

Answer: option A

the correct answer is independent because the outcome of the first roll does not affect the outcome of the second roll

Step-by-step explanation

Events are independent when the outcome of one does not effect the other. Rolling dice for example: If you roll an even number on your first cube, there is no way that it will effect the roll on the second cube, hence the two events are independent.
