PLZ EXPLAIN

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a die and getting a certain number will not change the chances of you getting the same number a second time. A normal die will always have a 1/2 chance of rolling an even number. However, the other answer choices will make the likelihood of getting the same type of event again slimmer as you remove one of the objects from being chosen again. An example for the first option would be drawing an ace from a deck of 52 cards where you only have 4 aces, so the chance on the first draw would have been 4/52 or a 7.7% chance while the next draw will be a 3/51 or 5.9% chance.
