Understand Events: 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 another event.
Analyze Situation: Analyze the given situation.Sally picks a card at random and then puts it back into the deck. This means that the deck is restored to its original state before the second card is picked.
