Answer #1

Answer: Independent

Explanation: Since the red ball is drawn at random from a bag containing red and black balls. When the red ball is replaced in the bag again, the total number of balls remain the same. Now when a black ball is drawn from the bag, its probability is not influenced by the drawing of the red ball earlier. Hence the second event (drawing of a black ball), as well as a first event (drawing of a red ball), are independent events.
