Grocery store selects the winner, or winners, of a $25 and $50 gift card by first randomly selecting a single entry from all ent
ries, placing that entry back into the pool, and then randomly selecting another entry. Are the events "winning the $25 gift card" and "winning the $50 gift card" independent or dependent? Explain.
The given events are independent because choosing one a $25 winner won't affect a $50 winner, and viceversa.
Remember that two events are independent if they don't influence each other. So , in this case, once they choose the first entry, they replace it back, restoring the pool to its original size.
