g During winter, red foxes hunt small rodents by jumping into thick snow cover, without any visual clue. Researchers examined the compass direction of hundreds of such jumps. They found that 73% of jumps in the northeast direction were successful, compared with 60% of jumps in the southwest direction and only 18% of jumps in all other directions. True or False: Jumping direction and jump outcome are independent.

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Events can be classed as being dependent or independent depending on whether the outcome of a certain event affects the outcome of another. In the scenario above, the success rate of jumps in the Northeast direction is higher than in the southwest direction and even much than in other directions. With these uneven rate of success, the probability that a fox will have a successful jump will depend on the direction in which the fox is jumping. With an high expected success probability in the Northeast and southwest than in other directions

answer is b
