The events A and B are not independent.

Given that,

                  P(A|B) = 0.4

                  P(A) = 0.5

                  P(B) = 0.8

Two events A and B are said to be independent, if P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B)

We have, P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

Therefore, P(A∩B) = P(A|B) P(B) = 0.4 x 0.8 = 0.32

Now P(A) P(B) = 0.5 x 0.8 = 0.4

So P(A∩B) ≠ P(A)P(B)

Therefore, the events A and B are not independent.
