Question

Olive rolls a 5 on one number cube and then Lolly rolls a 1 on another number cube. Is this a set of independent or dependent events?

Answer 1

Answer: independent

Reason:

Each cube doesn't affect the other one, which means that the probabilities are not altered. This is assuming that the cubes don't bump into each other when rolling on the table. So either there's enough space on the table, or they take turns one at a time.
