Do you have any thoughts? Any educated guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm dependent?

OpenStudy (austinl):

What does dependent mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An outcome that is affected by previous outcomes?

OpenStudy (austinl):

Mostly correct, so, would you say that the likely-hood of you tossing a tail is affected by you previously tossing a heads?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes?

OpenStudy (austinl):

If you toss a heads... then you toss again... does that previous result change the probability of you getting a heads vs. tails?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no, so independent

OpenStudy (austinl):
