D.Rolling a 4 on one die and rolling a 2 on another die
E.Seeing clouds and winning the lottery

Answer 1

I would guess A, C, D. but i could be wrong..

Answer 2

independent events meand one event which does not depend on other....now think logically...if u sneeze,can u get cold?whatever is reply,are these two dependent....think similarly for others...

Answer 3

So i'm looking for events that basically have nothing to do with each other?

Answer 4

yesss :) like seeing clouds have nothing to do with lottery,isn't it?

Answer 5

Yes. What about A?

Answer 6

if u flip two coins,what are possible outcomes??can one of them show head and other tail??can u see any relation in these?

Answer 7

I don't see a relation. What does flipping two coins have to do with one another?

Answer 8

exactly,getting a head on one does not depend whether theres a tail or head on other...so independent...same goes with D

Answer 9

So, our only answers would be A and D

Answer 10

i mean A D and E

Answer 11

yess :) because getting a total of 6 depends on whether one of it is 3,so c is dependent,B is obviously dependent....
