@Directrix pls I need help on 4 questions from my homework

daniellelovee · Answer

I think is dependent but I'm not sure

directrix · Answer

I have heard of independent and dependent events but have not heard the terms used to describe counting.  I don't know how those ideas apply to the number of musicians standing in a queue.

would it help if I showed you my lesson from my book?

directrix · Answer

I think so.

daniellelovee · Answer

I read the section on independent and dependent events. Based on what I read, I agree with you that dependent is the answer for the band member problem.
