Question

Determine whether the events are independent.Numbers are written on slips of paper in a hat; one person pulls out a slip of paper without replacing it, then a second person pulls out a slip of paper.Independent Not independent

Answer 1

Answer:

Not independent

Explanation:

Two events are not independent/dependent if the result of one event affects the outcome of the other. In the case above, numbers are picked without replacement, therefore if one slip is picked then the other slip will be picked(slips are picked only once not twice or more as in independent events). Events would be independent if there was a replacement.
