Analyze the definition of independent events

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

Evaluate each option

• Drawing a name from a hat, then another name without replacement: The first draw changes the pool of names available for the second draw, making the events dependent.
• Drawing two marbles at a time from a bag: Drawing simultaneously means the selection of the first marble affects which second marble can be drawn, making the events dependent.
• Drawing two cards at a time from a deck: Similar to drawing marbles, drawing simultaneously without replacement makes the events dependent.
• Drawing a card from a deck and spinning a spinner: The outcome of drawing a card has absolutely no effect on the outcome of spinning a spinner. These two actions are completely separate and independent.
