Question

which scenario depicts two independent events? a teacher is calling on students to present their reports. he calls on mario first and then chooses the next presenter from the remaining students. the girls basketball team is playing against the boys basketball team. the coach chooses a captain for the girls team and then chooses a captain for the boys team. yasmin is picking flowers from a garden to create a bouquet. she picks a flower, keeps it for the bouquet, and then she picks another. felipe is making a dentist appointment. first he chooses the day for his appointment, and then he chooses the time from the available openings.

Explanation:

Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. In the case of choosing a captain for the girls' basketball - team and then for the boys' team, the choice for the girls' team captain has no impact on the choice for the boys' team captain. In the other scenarios, the first action affects the second action. For example, when a teacher calls on a student first, it reduces the number of available students for the second - call; when Yasmin picks a flower and keeps it, there are fewer flowers for the second pick; when Felipe chooses a day for his appointment, it may limit the available time slots.

Answer:

The girls' basketball team is playing against the boys' basketball team. The coach chooses a captain for the girls' team and then chooses a captain for the boys' team.
