Question

Tell if the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

A small box is filled with 50 marbles. There are 15 red marbles, 15 blue marbles, 10 purple marbles, 5 yellow marbles, and 5 black marbles in the box. A yellow marble is drawn from the box, is not replaced, and then a black marble is drawn.

C.
The events are independent, because the events do not affect each other.

D.
