In your backpack there are three math books, two science books, and five notebooks. If you reach into your backpack and select a math book, and then reach in and select a notebook, are these independent events? Explain.

Answer:
No, because grabbing the math book changed the odds of grabbing the notebook.
These are not independent events as you didn't replace the first book so that changed the probability that you would draw a notebook second , Option C is the answer.
Probability is the likeliness of an event to happen.
It is given that there are three math books, two science books, and five notebooks.
Total number of books = 3 + 2 + 5 = 10
The probability of drawing a mathbook is 3 / 10 = 0.3
and then if the mathbook is not replaced then the total outcomes for drawing a notebook changes.
Therefore they are not independent events and Option C is the answer.
