Which of the following probabilities are most likely independent?

a. the chance a man has brown hair and the chance that his father lives nearby
b. the chance a girl has blonde hair and the chance that she will become a nurse
c. the chance a teen watches tv for over six hours a night and the chance that he completes all his homework
d. the chance a woman works in an it department and the chance that she has more than one computer at home

Independent probablities don't affect each other
dependent problities affect each other

example, an independent probalbity would be like probablity of picking a green marble then throwing a 10 in darts

dependent would be picking 2 green marbles in a row from the same box with no replacement

so

A. hair color affects where his father lives? nope. so this is likely independent
B. hair color doesn't really affect the kind of job  you have (unlesss you are a model or secretary or something), so this is independent
C. this is dependent because the teen will spend less time on homework because he watched tv
D. compouters and IT are related. a tech may want to have more than 1 compouter at home, maybe not, so I wuld say dependent

answers are A and B

What can we do about it
