Jenny selects a box of cereal for her family at the supermarket. Across town, Chase also happens to pick out a box of cereal for his own family. Are these two events dependent or independent?

Independent

Step-by-step explanation:

In clear and simple terms, Events A and B are sid to be independent if the occurrence of event A and event B can occur simultaneously, that is the occurrence of A does not affect or stop the occurrence of B at the time.

The events being compared can happen concurrently with Jenny and chase both making selection for their respective families. However, events which cannot occur together are called mutually exclusive events such as obtaining a head and tail from a single coin toss, this events cannot happen together and are thus not independent.

answer: the answer is 35%
