Answer 6

Example:
The outcome of choosing the first card has affected the outcome of choosing the second card, making these events dependent. Definition: Two events are dependent if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed.

Answer 7

That's what I thought.. so am I right?

Answer 8

So technically, the dependent one would be the marbles, since you cannot take that marble again, making the second one anything but the first one

Answer 9

Yes
