Question

Determine whether the scenario involves independent or dependent events. Then find the probability as a reduced fraction.

 

You select a card from a standard shuffled deck of 52 cards. You return the card, shuffle, and then select another card. Both times the card is a diamond. (Note that 13 of the 52 cards are diamonds.)

Answer 1

Since the deck was returned to its starting state after the first draw, the two events are independent of each other.
