Question

1. which statement describes independent events? a president and vice president are randomly selected from a group of 24 students. you write the numbers 1 through 10 on index cards. you randomly draw two cards without replacement: a 6 and an 8. at a convenience store, customers sample candies from a jar before making a purchase. the jar contains 24 assorted chocolate candies: 12 peanut butter, 8 caramel, and 4 milk chocolate. you randomly select one candy, eat it, and then select another. a fair 6 -sided cube has a different color on each side—red, blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow. evan rolls the cube 3 times.

Explanation:

Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. In the case of rolling a fair 6 - sided cube multiple times, each roll is an independent event as the result of one roll does not influence the result of the next roll. In the other options, selection without replacement (drawing cards without replacement, eating a candy and then selecting another) and sequential selection for different positions (selecting President and Vice - President) are dependent events.

Answer:

A fair 6 - sided cube has a different color on each side—red, blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow. Evan rolls the cube 3 times.
