Question

What is a dependent and independent event?

Answer 1

I'm having a hard time understanding it.

Answer 2

There are two types of variables-independent and dependent. Answer: An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable.

Answer 3

i am guessing that this is probability right?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

ok then no wonder you are confused
there is not such thing as an "independent' event or a "dependent" event
you have to compare two events to see if they are "independent' or "dependent" of each other

Answer 6

for example, if i flip a coin once then flip it again and note it i get heads or tails, those events are "independent" of each other, since the first flip has no influence on the second

Answer 7

But theres a question that says 'Which of the following is the example of a dependent event? (flipping two coins, rolling a number cube and spinning a spinner, choosing two scoops of ice cream, choosing a cookie at random eating it then choosing another at random)

Answer 8

the question is stupid, it is not your fault
tell your math teacher it makes no sense at all

Answer 9

But I still need to pick one.. There's also "What is an example of an independent event"
