Question

you reach into a bin of dvds on sale at the drugstore and randomly pull one out and place it in your shopping basket. then you reach in and randomly pull out another. are the events independent or dependent? why? (1 point) dependent, because the outcome of the first event does not affect the outcome of the second event. dependent, because the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event. independent, because the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event. independent, because the outcome of the first event does not affect the outcome of the second event.

Explanation:

When you pull out the first DVD, the total number of DVDs in the bin decreases. This change in the number of available DVDs affects the probability of pulling out any specific DVD in the second draw. In probability, if the outcome of one event (first draw) changes the conditions for another event (second draw), the events are dependent.

Answer:

Dependent, because the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event.
