Question

We give out medals. Which situation shows independent events?

Answer 1

what are the options?

Answer 2

A.
Tara has 8 red straws and 8 blue straws in a bag. Without looking, she randomly pulls out a red straw. She does not replace it and picks another.

B.
Vince has a box of shells. He has 12 spotted shells and 7 pink shells. He reaches into the box and randomly pulls out a spotted shell. Without replacing it, he pulls out another shell.

C.
Ingrid has a piggy bank with 10 one-dollar bills and 3 five-dollar bills. She reaches in and randomly pulls out one of the one-dollar bills. She puts the one-dollar bill back and picks another bill.

D.
Simone has 16 pecans and 12 cashews in a bowl. Without looking at the nuts, Simone picks one and eats it. She then picks another nut.

Answer 3

Independent events would usually be characterized with variables that do not influence each other.

Answer 4

Does choice A make sense to you as independent?

The other choices that depend on the first option include picking another nut, picking up another dollar bill, and pulling out another shell. There is also an even amount of each type, unlike the shell option.
