Question

select the correct answer.
you pick a card from a shuffled pack and draw a king. you put it back in the pack, shuffle, and then pick another card. this time you draw a queen.
how are the two events of picking a king and picking a queen related?
a. neither dependent nor independent
b. dependent
c. independent
d. both dependent and independent

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of independent events

Independent events: The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event.

Step2: Analyze the card - picking situation

When we pick a card, put it back, and shuffle. The total number of cards in the deck for the second pick is still the same as the first pick. The probability of picking a queen (the second event) is not affected by the result of picking a king (the first event).

Answer:

C. independent
