Question

LeRon draws an orange counter from one bag and a red counter from another bag. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Hello there!

The question asks if the events are independent or dependent.
Well, let's establish what an independent and dependent event is.

An independent event is an occurrence in which two or more events do not have effect on each other, regardless what happens during each scenario.

An independent event would be (for example) "I flipped a coin and rolled a dice." Both of these are independent events, as they do not have any effect on eachother.

A dependent event is an occurrence in which two or more events have effects on eachother. For example "I pull a red card out of a deck of cards. I then pull a black card out of the same deck."

The question you have is:
LeRon draws an orange counter from one bag and a red counter from another bag. Are the events dependent or independent?

Since that LeRon draws two different counters from two separate bags, the events do not effect each other, thus making the events independent.

I hope this helps!
