Q. Martina and Regan go to the library to check out books for a book report.\newlineAre these two events dependent or independent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) dependent\newline(B) independent
  1. Understand Definitions: To determine whether the events are dependent or independent, we need to understand the definitions of these terms. Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. Dependent events are those where the outcome of one event does affect the outcome of the other event. In this case, Martina checking out books for a book report and Regan doing the same are two separate actions. Unless there is additional information suggesting that one's ability to check out books is affected by the other's actions (such as if there was only one book left and they both wanted it), we can assume these are independent events.
  2. Events Explanation: Since there is no information given that suggests Martina's choice of books affects Regan's choice, or vice versa, we can conclude that these are independent events. Each person checking out books does not influence the other's ability to check out books for their report.
