Understand Concepts: Understand the concept of independent and dependent events. Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another event. Dependent events are those where the outcome of one event does affect the outcome of the other event.
Analyze Situation: Analyze the situation.Marshall and Dave are rolling a die in turns. The outcome of Marshall's roll does not affect the outcome of Dave's roll, as each roll of a die is a separate event with its own set of possible outcomes.
