Let's go over the problems step by step based on the uploaded image.

### 23. Simulating Guessing on a 20-question Test
For a multiple-choice test with 5 choices per question, where only one answer is correct, simulating guessing can be done as follows:
- You assume that for each question, you have a 1 in 5 chance (or a 20% chance) of guessing the correct answer.
- To simulate guessing for 20 questions, you can use a random number generator that selects a number between 1 and 5 for each question. If the generated number matches the correct answer’s position, it is marked as correct. This can be done for all 20 questions.
Alternatively, you can model this using binomial probability with \( p = \frac{1}{5} \) and 20 trials.

### 24. Classify Pair of Events as Dependent or Independent
- **A number cube is rolled; the number cube is rolled again.**  
  These events are **independent** because the outcome of one roll does not affect the outcome of the other roll.

### 25. **A marble is chosen out of a bag; another remaining marble is chosen.**  
These events are **dependent** because removing a marble affects the probabilities when choosing the second marble (since there is one less marble in the bag after the first draw).

### 26-28. Finding \( P(Q \cap R) \) for Independent Events
For independent events, the probability of both \( Q \) and \( R \) happening is given by:
\[
P(Q \cap R) = P(Q) \times P(R)
\]

- **Problem 26:** \( P(Q) = \frac{1}{4}, P(R) = \frac{1}{8} \)  
  \[
  P(Q \cap R) = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{32}
  \]

- **Problem 27:** \( P(Q) = \frac{2}{7}, P(R) = \frac{7}{9} \)  
  \[
  P(Q \cap R) = \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{7}{9} = \frac{14}{63} = \frac{2}{9}
  \]

- **Problem 28:** \( P(Q) = 0.4, P(R) = 0.15 \)  
  \[
  P(Q \cap R) = 0.4 \times 0.15 = 0.06
  \]

### 29-30. Mutually Exclusive Events with Two Number Cubes
- **Problem 29:** "The sum is 10; the numbers are equal."  
  These events are **mutually exclusive** because no pair of identical numbers can sum to 10 (the only way to get a sum of 10 is by rolling 4 and 6, or 5 and 5, etc., which don’t satisfy both conditions).

- **Problem 30:** "The sum is greater than 9; one of the numbers is 2."  
  These events are **not mutually exclusive** because you can have a sum greater than 9 with one of the numbers being 2 (e.g., rolling 2 and 8, if the die allows it, or 2 and 5 with certain adjustments).

### 31-33. Finding \( P(S \cup T) \) for Mutually Exclusive Events
For mutually exclusive events, the probability of either event occurring is given by:
\[
P(S \cup T) = P(S) + P(T)
\]

- **Problem 31:** \( P(S) = \frac{1}{6}, P(T) = \frac{2}{3} \)  
  \[
  P(S \cup T) = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{5}{6}
  \]

- **Problem 32:** \( P(S) = \frac{7}{15}, P(T) = \frac{1}{5} \)  
  \[
  P(S \cup T) = \frac{7}{15} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{7}{15} + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3}
  \]

- **Problem 33:** \( P(S) = 18\%, P(T) = 44\% \)  
  \[
  P(S \cup T) = 18\% + 44\% = 62\%
  \]

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. How would you simulate a 4-choice test instead of 5 choices for question 23?
2. Can you describe another example of independent events using coins instead of dice?
3. How would the probabilities change in problem 25 if the marbles were replaced back in the bag after each draw?
4. For problem 29, what is the probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 10?
5. How do you calculate \( P(S \cup T) \) if events are not mutually exclusive?

**Tip:** For independent events, remember that the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other—this is the key difference from dependent events.
