Which of the following is an example of dependent events? A. Drawing a jack from a standard deck of cards and then drawing a six
without replacing the jack B. Winning the lottery and getting struck by lightning C. Spinning a 5 on a spinner and getting tails from flipping a coin D. Owning a dog and being in the school chorus
Answer: A. Drawing a jack and drawing a six without replacement
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
A Dependent event means the outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other event.
Options B, C, and D:
The first event is completely unrelated to the second event so those options are Independent events.
Option A:
The first event uses 52 cards. The second event only has 51 cards remaining because we did not replace the first card. The probability of the second event IS affected by the first event so this is a Dependent event.
<em>Note: If the card was replaced before drawing the second card, then it would be an Independent event.</em>
To find the total cost of Roast Beef, multiply 114 lbs by $2 equaling $228. Next to find the total cost of the turkey, multiply 212 lbs by $1.5 equaling $318. The last step is to multiply the two sums giving you a total of $546
