KK. 6 Identify independent and dependent events
Keenan and Haley go to the library to check out books for a book report.
Are these two events dependent or independent?
dependent independent

When Keenan checks out a book, the selection might affect Haley’s options, especially if they want to choose from the same genres or subjects. This means that if one person takes a book, it could limit the availability of that book for the other. Therefore, their events are dependent on each other.

In simpler terms, imagine if Keenan grabs the last copy of a hot new title! Suddenly, Haley’s options are thinner than a slice of toast at breakfast. So yes, these events are dependent!
