For Question 1 the answer is the last choice.
Answer:
They are dependent events. Event A is choosing one musician while Event B is choosing another musician. THey are ALL musicians, no matter what instrument they play, we just know that there are 7 musicians in total. Therefore, the events are dependent because after choosing one musician, you would have 6 musicians left, instead of 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
