[D]: " 12/14 " .

Explanation:

Looking at the answer choices given, we see that ALL of the fractions are "positive" fractions; so the question is,
→"Which fraction is the largest?"

We see that for choices "A) "10/14 ; and D) "12/14" ;
both have "14" as the denominator.

Furthermore, we see that answer choice C): "5/7" can be convert to "14th" ;

→ 5/7 = (5*2) / (7*2) = 10/14 ; which is the same value as Answer choice, "A".

We know that "answer choice: D): "12/14" is larger than "10/14" ; so we can eliminate choices "A" and" C";

So, we are left with answer choices: B) 1/4 ; and D) 12/14 ;

Answer choice B): 1/4 = ? / 28 ; 1/4 = (1*7) / (4*7) = 7/28 ;

Answer choice D): 12/14 = ? / 28; 12/14 = (12*2) / (14*2) = 24/28 ;

24/28 = (12/14) = (12÷2) / (14÷2) = 6/7 ;

→ is much larger than 7/28 (= 1/4);

So, answer choice: [D]: " 12/14 " ; is the answer.

Answer from: Quest

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b. this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes. this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes. this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes. this makes them dependent events.
