Hi I'm 3 years lte to answer this question and I have no idea
100% thx
@Laura is 100% correct!
Your answers are correct!
1. For the first question, a dependent event is an event where the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event. In this case, choosing a cookie at random, eating it, and then choosing another at random is a dependent event because the outcome of the first choice (eating a cookie) affects the available options for the second choice (choosing another cookie).
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the concept of dependent events and the definition provided in the question. By reading and comprehending the options given, you can analyze each one and identify if it fits the criteria of a dependent event.
2. For the second question, an independent event is an event where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. In this case, flipping a coin and rolling a number cube are two separate events that do not influence each other.
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the concept of independent events and the definition provided in the question. By reading and comprehending the options given, you can analyze each one and identify if it fits the criteria of an independent event.
