Two different furniture manufacturers produce chairs. Let X represent the number of chairs produced daily at plant X, and let y represent the number of chairs produced daily at plant Y. Assume that X and Y are independent random
variables. Which of the following choices explains the meaning of independent random variables in context?
O The independence of the two manufacturers means that the two random variables have a correlation of 1.
The independence of the two manufacturers means that the number of chairs produced is approximately Normal.
The independence of the two manufacturers means that knowing how much one furniture plant produces does not
help us predict how much the other produces.
The independence of the two manufacturers means that if one plant is producing chairs properly, the other has a
smaller probability of producing chairs properly.
