You plan to visit two different zoos but cannot decide which two to visit. On a piece of paper,you write the name of each zoo in the table. Then you select the names of two zoos at random. Are your selections independent or dependent events. Explain.

B. What is P (Smithsonian, then El Paso)?

If the two zoos are written on one piece of paper, how do you select one at random?

The P of selecting either zoo at random = .5

After picking either one, the probability of selecting the remaining one is certainty.

With only two possibilities, the first choice is independent, but the second is not.
