ONE MEDAL!! Choosing a marble from bag #1, then choosing a marble from bag #2.. Independent? Mutually Exclusive?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well, they aren't mutually exclusive because I could draw a marble from bag # 1 and the draw one from bag # 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Mutually exclusive is like: if the baby is a boy then it can't be a girl

so is it independent?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yep
