KK. 6 Identify independent and dependent events \( 5 A 7 \) Keenan and Haley go to the library to check out books for a book report. Are these two events dependent or independent? dependent independent

In the scenario where **Keenan** and **Haley** go to the library to check out books for a book report, we need to determine whether their actions are **independent** or **dependent** events. ### **Independent Events** Two events are considered **independent** if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. In this context: - **Keenan** selecting and checking out a book **does not influence** Haley's ability to select and check out her own book. - Both Keenan and Haley are making separate choices, and unless there is a limitation (like only one copy of a specific book being available), their actions do not impact each other. ### **Dependent Events** Events are **dependent** if the outcome or occurrence of one affects the outcome or occurrence of the other. For example: - If there was only **one copy** of a particular book and both wanted to check it out, Keenan getting the book would prevent Haley from getting the same book. However, based on the information provided, there is no indication of such limitations or interactions. ### **Conclusion** Since there is no information suggesting that Keenan’s actions affect Haley’s ability to check out her books (and vice versa), their events are **independent**. **Answer:** Dependent or independent? **Independent**
