Explanation / Answer

a. rolling a prime number in the first roll of a die andgetting an even number in the second roll Independent because what we get on the first throw does not affectthe one on the second throw. b. Having your car serviced at regular intervals ansd thelifetime of the car Dependent, because the more we service the car the lifetimedecreases. c. Selecting a face card in the first draw from a deck ofplaying cards and selecting a face card in the seconddraw There are two possibilities in this case. If the card that has been drawn is again placed in the deck of 52cards before the 2nd draw, then its independent. However, if after the first draw, the card is not placed in thedeck of 52 cards. i.e. before the 2nd draw, the cards are 51 innumber, then its dependent, as the probability of choosing a facecard in this case in the 2nd draw decreases. d. A person's height and his or her ability to solve mathproblems. independent....as the person's ability to solve math problems doesnot depends on his height rather than his some other factors likehis interest in maths, etc etc.
