Q2. - Algebra 1

Question

Choose the word or term that best completes the sentence.

Rolling one die and then another are (dependent, independent) events.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The word “independent” completes the given sentence.

Step 1. Define independent event.

Two events are said to be independent events if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.

Step 2. Define dependent event.

Two events are said to be dependent events if the outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other.

Step 3. Complete the given sentence.

The rolling of one die cannot be affected by the rolling of another die.

So, both the events do not depend on each other.

Hence, 

Rolling one die and then another are independent events.

 

Therefore, the word “independent” completes the given sentence.
