Identify Independent or Dependent Probability

Which event is not a dependent event?

• Picking 2 students to each be line leader and door holder from a group of 20 students
• Picking 2 marbles from a bag without replacing the first marble
• Picking 2 crayons from a box at the same time (simultaneously) 
• Picking an earring, replacing it, then picking a 2nd earring

Describe the event as independent or dependent: Susie draws a card from a deck of cards and replaces it. She then draws a second card.

• Independent
• dependent

Describe the event as independent or dependent: Seth draws a colored tile from a bag, replaces; draws a second tile from the bag, replaces it; and then draws a third tile.
