Which of the following is an example of dependent events?
rolling dice
drawing one card after the other
tossing a coin and spinning a spinner
tossing a coin twice
Rolling dice : it wont necessarily change the number every throw.
Drawing one card after the other: if there are different colors on each card then I think you'll get a different color each time you pick one.
I'm not sure what to say for tossing a coin and spinning a spinner or tossing a coin twice but I hoped my information helped have a nice day/night.
Thank you
Your welcome 🙂
This is a timed test, pls hurry thx
To determine which of the options is an example of dependent events, we need to understand what dependent events are.
Dependent events are events where the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another event. In other words, the probability of the second event occurring is influenced by the occurrence or outcome of the first event.
Now, let's analyze each option:
1. Rolling dice: Rolling dice does not depend on any previous events or outcomes, so it is an example of independent events.
2. Drawing one card after the other: Drawing one card after the other can be an example of dependent events. The probability of drawing a specific card from a deck depends on which cards were drawn previously.
3. Tossing a coin and spinning a spinner: The outcomes of tossing a coin and spinning a spinner are unrelated to each other, so they are independent events.
4. Tossing a coin twice: Tossing a coin twice can be an example of dependent events if the outcome of the first toss affects the outcome or probability of the second toss. However, in most cases, each coin toss is considered an independent event.
Based on the explanations above, drawing one card after the other is the option that represents an example of dependent events.
