Multiple Choice

Each of the letters A through F are written on slips of paper and placed in a hat. Priya selects a slip of paper at random and then replaces it. Noah then selects a slip of paper at random.

Are the events of Priya selecting a paper and Noah selecting a paper dependent or independent?

• Independent

• Dependent

Multiple Choice

The Wildcats have won approximately 80% of their 20 basketball games this season. The Wildcats won 5 of the 8 games they played when Elena started the game.
