P(A \cap B) \neq P(A) \times P(B)

A

B

are

Solution:

Concept:

Independent events satisfy

P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)

; otherwise, they are dependent.

Explanation:

The given condition is

P(A \cap B) \neq P(A) \times P(B)

By definition, if

P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)

, events are independent.

Since the equality does not hold, the events are not independent; they are dependent.

Answer:

Dependent
