Understand Definitions: First, we need to understand the definition 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.
Scenario Explanation: In this scenario, Seth chooses a marble and leaves it out of the bag before choosing another. This means the first draw affects the second draw because the total number of marbles in the bag is reduced by 1, and the composition of colors in the bag is changed.
Events Dependency: Since the outcome of the first event (choosing the first marble) affects the outcome of the second event (choosing the second marble), the two events are dependent.
