Question

You roll two number cubes.

Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.
Let event B= You roll a 4 on the second cube.
Are the events independent or dependent? Why?
OA. Dependent, because 4 is an even number.
OB. Independent, because they have no outcomes in common.
OC. Dependent, because both cubes have six sides.
OD. Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect
the outcome of the second roll.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect the outcome of the second roll.

Step-by-step explanation: The events are independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect the outcome of the second roll. The fact that 4 is an even number does not make the events dependent.
