Question

Shandra has a bag that has 2525 colored slips of paper in it, and each slip is labeled 11 through 25.25. The numbers 11 through 1111 are printed on orange paper; the numbers 1212 through 1818 are printed on green paper; and the numbers 1919 through 2525 are printed on yellow paper.

Consider the following possible events, and then answer the question.

A: Shandra draws a yellow paper.

B: Shandra draws a multiple of 5

If Shandra draws two slips of paper and replaces the slip after the first draw, which description of events A and B is accurate?

A. The events are independent because the slip of paper is replaced, so drawing a yellow paper does not affect the probability of drawing a multiple of 5.

B. The events are independent because the slip of paper can be yellow paper and not have a multiple of 5.

C. The events are dependent because the slip of paper can be yellow paper and have a multiple of 5.

D. The events are dependent because the slip of paper is replaced, so drawing a yellow paper affects the probability of drawing a multiple of 5.

Answer 1

Question:

If Shandra draws two slips of paper and replaces the slip after the first draw, which description of events A and B is accurate?

Correct option:

A. The events are independent because the slip of paper is replaced, so drawing a yellow paper does not affect the probability of drawing a multiple of 5.

Explanation:
Given: Shandra draws two slips of paper and replaces the slip after the first draw. So,the 2 events: A: Shandra draws a yellow paper. and B: Shandra draws a multiple of 5 are independent.
