Q. Without discussing their choices, Regan and Lola pick professions to discuss on career day. The students have the option of discussing the same profession.\newlineAre these two events dependent or independent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) dependent\newline(B) independent
  1. Regan's profession choice: Regan picks a profession without knowing Lola's choice, and Lola picks a profession without knowing Regan's choice. Since neither student's choice affects the other's, the events are independent.
  2. Independence of events: To further clarify, if the probability of one event does not change regardless of the outcome of the other event, the two events are considered independent. In this case, Regan's choice does not affect Lola's probability of picking any given profession, and vice versa.
