Question

Eric rolled a 5 on a number cube. He then rolled a 6. Are these events dependent or independent?

Thank you for helping and can you please show how you figured out the problem so know how to figure out later on problems like this one?

Answer 1

Pleeeaaassseee help!

Answer 2

is there a possibility that rolling a 5 somehow affects rolling a 6? or vice versa?

Answer 3

It doesn't say in the problem, but I think I found the answer. Thanks though soooo much for your help!

Answer 4

what did you get for the answer

Answer 5

I got dependant.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

that's incorrect

Answer 8

i meant dependent.

Answer 9

it is?

Answer 10

rolling a 5 does NOT affect how you roll a 6

Answer 11

both events have the same chance of occurring (1/6) and rolling one value does NOT change the odds of rolling the other

Answer 12

yes, so wouldn't that make it dependent? Wait......

Answer 13

no, it would make it independent

Answer 14

each event is on its own

Answer 15

neither event is dependent on the other

Answer 16

oh ok!
