Your MP3 player contains hip-hop and rock songs. You randomly choose a song. Then you randomly choose another song without repeating song choices.
Event A: You choose a hip-hop song first
Event B: You choose a rock song second
is it independent or dependent?


Sagot :

Answer:

  dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know if randomly choosing two songs without the possibility of repeats will result in independent or dependent events.

Dependent

Since songs are not allowed to repeat, the choice of a hip-hop song first reduces the probability a hip-hop song will be chosen second and increases the probability that a rock song will be chosen second.

When one outcome changes the probability of another outcome, the events are dependent.
