Q. A steak house cooks its steaks rare, medium rare, medium, or well. Irma tells the waiter how she wants her steak done, and then her companion tells the waiter his preference, too.\newlineAre these two events dependent or independent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) dependent\newline(B) independent
  1. Determine Steak Ordering Influence: We need to determine if the way Irma orders her steak affects how her companion will order his steak. Each person's preference for how their steak is cooked is a personal choice and does not influence the other's choice.
  2. Irma's Choice Independence: Since Irma's choice does not affect her companion's choice, we can conclude that these two events are independent. The waiter taking the order for one steak does not change the possible outcomes for how the other steak can be ordered.
