Steve reaches into a bag with 5 marbles 3 yellow marbles and 2 green marbles and randomly selects one the he puts the marble back and sam reaches into the same bag and randomly selects a marble is this independent or dependent

Independent

Step-by-step explanation:

The reliance of an event on the outcine of another event gives rise to a dependent event. For any two or more event, whereby the outcome of event A has no effect on the possible outcome of event B, then such scenario is termed as being Independent. In the scenario described above, the outcome oof Sam's pick does not depend on the outcine of Steve's pick. This is because, once Steve makes his selection, the marble is returned into the box before Sam makes his own selection.Therefore, no matter the color of marble picked by Steven, it will have no bearing on the outcome of Sam's pick.

the solution is 12x-6y
