Q. Evelyn and Malik are picking teams for a game of basketball. Evelyn chooses first, and then it is Malik's turn to pick.\newlineAre these two events dependent or independent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) dependent\newline(B) independent
  1. Determine Impact on Malik: We need to determine if the choice of Evelyn affects the choice of Malik. Since Evelyn is choosing first, the pool of available players for Malik to choose from is affected by Evelyn's choice. This means that the outcome of Evelyn's choice has a direct impact on the options available for Malik.
  2. Interdependent Player Choices: Since the choice of one player affects the options available for the other player, the events of Evelyn and Malik picking teams are dependent on each other. Therefore, the event type is dependent.
