Activity: Which events are independent?
Determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Then, find the probability.
1. A toy box contains 12 toys, 8 stuffed animals, and 3 board games. Maria randomly chooses 2
toys for the child she is babysitting to play with. What is the probability that she chose 2
stuffed animals as the first two choices?
2. A basket contains 6 apples, 5 bananas, 4 oranges, and 5 guavas. Dominic randomly chooses
one piece of fruit, eats it, and chooses another piece of fruit. What is the probability that he
chose a banana and then an apple? 3. Nick has 4 black pens, 3 blue pens, and 2 red pens in
his school bag. Nick randomly picks two pens out of his school bag. What is the probability
