Answer:
The selections are dependent.
Yes, they can be treated as independent (less than 5% of the population).
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the selections are made without replacement, each selection affects the outcome of the next selection and, therefore, the selections are dependent.
Although they are dependent, the selections can be treated as independent if the sample size is no more than 5% of the total population. In this case, the sample size is 1235 adults out of a population of 15,958,866 adults. The percentage represented by the sample is:

Thus the selections can be treated as independent for the purposes of calculations.
In order to find the speed at which the boat is traveling, we divide the distance it has traveled by the time elapsed:
2.5/20=0.125 miles/minute
Next, we want to find how long it took for the boat to travel 10 miles. Since it travels 0.125 miles every minute, we just divide:
10/0.125=80
Thus, it took 80 minutes for the boat to reach the bridge
