Question

1. what are dependent events in probability?

a. events where the outcome of one does not affect the outcome of another
b. events that cannot occur at the same time
c. events that must occur simultaneously
d. events where the outcome of one affects the outcome of another

Explanation:

• Option a: This describes independent events, not dependent events.
• Option b: This describes mutually - exclusive events.
• Option c: There is no such general probability term for events that “must occur simultaneously” in the context of dependent events.
• Option d: By definition, dependent events are those where the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another event.

Answer:

d. Events where the outcome of one affects the outcome of another
