Inger keeps her white and black chess pieces in separate bags. For each color, there are 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 1 queen, and 1 king. Are the events of drawing a knight from the bag of white pieces and drawing a pawn from the bag of black pieces dependent or independent events? Find the probability of this compound event.

• Independent; drawing a piece from one bag does not affect the pieces in the other bag; 1/16

• Dependent, drawing a piece from a bag affects the pieces in the other bag; 1/16

• Independent; drawing a piece from one bag does not affect the pieces in the other bag; 1/4

• Dependent, drawing a piece from a bag affects the pieces in the other bag; 1/4

Inger keeps her white and black chess pieces in separate bags. For each color, there are 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 1 queen, and 1 king. Are the events of drawing a bishop from the bag of white pieces and then drawing the queen from the same bag dependent or independent events? Find the probability of this compound event.

• Independent; once a bishop is drawn, there are the same pieces in the bag from which to choose the second piece. 1/120

• Dependent; once a bishop is drawn, there are fewer pieces in the bag from which to choose the second piece; 1/128

• Independent; once a bishop is drawn, there are the same pieces in the bag from which to choose the second piece. 1/128

• Dependent; once a bishop is drawn, there are fewer pieces in the bag from which to choose the second piece; 1/120
