Question

Determine whether the events are independent (I) or dependent (D). Place your answer in the blank provided. 1. Ramiro draws a marble from a jar, does not replace it, and then flips a coin.

Answer 1

Answer:

Independent events

Step-by-step 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.
