At a high school movie night, the refreshments stand sells popcorn and soft drinks. Of the 100 students who came to the movie, 62 bought popcorn and 47 bought a drink. 38 students bought both popcorn and a drink.

Are buying a drink and buying popcorn independent or dependent events? Justify your answer.

Buying a drink and buying popcorn are independent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are referred to as events whose occurrence does not affect the occurrence of another event.

In the case of this question, 62 bought popcorn while 47 bought a drink.

This means that the buying of popcorn by a student does not mean buying of a drink. It does not affect each other.

I hope this helps.

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
