Answer:
Being a student and preferring “shark” are not independent events
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that the selected person is a student and B the event that person prefers sharks.
Total number of students =100
Hence P(A) =
P(B) = Persons who prefers sharks /total persons
=
P(AB) = no of persons who are students and who prefer sharks/total persons
= 
P(A)P(B) = 
Since P(AB) does not equal P(A) P(B), we find that
A and B are not independent.
Being a student and preferring “shark” are not independent events
