Question

a pair of dice is rolled. the events are \6 on the first\ and \3 on the second.\ choose the correct answer. a. the two events are dependent because the result of the first die effects the result of the second die. b. the two events are independent because the result of one die has no effect on the result of the other die. c. the two events are independent because the dice are rolled at the same time. d. the two events are dependent because the dice are rolled one at a time.

Explanation:

When rolling a pair of dice, the outcome of one die does not influence the outcome of the other die. Whether we roll them simultaneously or one - after - the - other, the result of the first die has no bearing on the result of the second die. This is the definition of independent events.

Answer:

B. The two events are independent because the result of one die has no effect on the result of the other die.
