Question

select not independent or independent for each situation.

situation	not independent	independent
a coin is flipped four times.	○	○
a spinner is divided into five same - sized sections. the spinner is spun three times.	○	○

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first situation

Two coins selected without replacement: removing one coin changes the total number of coins, so the probability of the second selection depends on the first. Thus, not independent.

Step2: Analyze second situation

Coin flips are independent: each flip's outcome doesn't affect others. Thus, independent.

Step3: Analyze third situation

Spinner spins are independent: each spin's outcome doesn't affect subsequent spins. Thus, independent.

Answer:

1. A jar contains 3 pennies and 8 dimes. Two coins are selected from the jar without replacement: Not independent
2. A coin is flipped four times: Independent
3. A spinner is divided into five same-sized sections. The spinner is spun three times: Independent
