Answer:

Independent events

Explanation:

Given that:

Ramiro draws a marble from a jar without replacement and then flips a coin

Let
E_1 be the event that Ramiro draws a marble without replacement and;

Let
E_2 be the event of flipping a coin.

Let's have an analogy so that we can better understand the concept of independent and dependent events.

Consider a random experiment in which a marble is drawn from a jar without replacement and a fair coin is flipped together.

The event
E_1 does not in any way affect the event
E_2 of a head or a tail showing up in a flip of a coin.

Therefore, we say that
E_1 and
E_2 are independent events.

Suppose the event
E_1 affects or influence the event
E_2 , then we can say they are dependent events.
