\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. No. They are not independent. The outcome of the second draw depends on the result of the first draw. On the first draw, you have 52 cards to choose from, but since you aren't replacing the first card drawn, you only have 51 possibilities on the second draw. In other words, the first draw changes the sample space in a material way.\r
