A drawer contains 3 red paperclips, 4 green paperclips, and 5 blue paperclips. One paperclip is taken from the drawer and then replaced. Another paperclip is taken from the drawer. Explain why this is an independent or a dependent event.

a.

Independent - the first paper clip is replaced, the sample space of 12 paperclips does not change from the first event to the second event

c.

Independent - the sample space changes from the first event to the second event

b.

Dependent - the first paper clip is replaced, the sample space of 12 paperclips does not change from the first event to the second event

d.

Dependent - the sample space changes from the first event to the second event
