On school days, Janelle sometimes eats breakfast and sometimes does not. After studying probability for a few days, Janelle says, "The events 'I eat breakfast' and 'I am late for school' are independent." Explain what this means in terms of the relationship between Janelle eating breakfast and her probability of being late for school in a language that someone who hasn't taken statistics would understand. Aligns with S-CP.A.5.
