Answer: Dependent
Lets say there are four colors: red, green, yellow, blue
The probability of picking red is 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
After red is picked, we have these colors to pick from: green, yellow, blue
The probability of getting a certain color is 1/3 = 0.333 = 33.3% approximately. The probability has changed from before, meaning the first event altered the second event. The second event is dependent on the first.
To ensure the events be independent, Carly must put the red bead she picked out in the first selection back into the pile. Or she must replace the red bead with another red bead. This will keep the probabilities the same.
