Question

E: A randomly selected person accidentally killing a spider. F: A different randomly selected person accidentally swallowing a spider. A. E can affect the probability of F because the people were randomly selected, so the events are dependent. B. E cannot affect F and vice versa because the people were randomly selected, so the events are independent. C. E can affect the probability of F, even if the two people are randomly selected, so the events are dependent. D. E cannot affect F because "person 1 accidentally killing a spider" could never occur, so the events are neither dependent nor independent.

Explanation / Answer
