Which describes independent events? Spinning two fours on a spinner divided into four numbered sections. Selecting two kings from a standard deck of cards by choosing a card at random, placing it in your pocket, then choosing the second card. Selecting two green marbles by choosing one from a bag at random, giving the first to a friend, then choosing another. Selecting the names of two siblings by choosing slips of paper from a hat at random, pinning the selected slip on a bulletin board, and then selecting another.

answer A

OpenStudy (antonio_xx2):

why?

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

Because the other events are each two separate events, the first of which affects the outcome of the second. In option A, the first event has no influence whatsoever on the probability of the second.
