We find the probability of intersection using the inclusion/exclusion principle:
By definition of conditional probability,
For
and
to be independent, we must have
in which case we have
, which is true, so
and
are indeed independent.
Or, to establish independence another way, in terms of conditional probability, we must have
which is also true.

Answer:
Total taxes = $1,520
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two separate calculations for the taxes:
The tax rate for the first $5,000 of Clarisa's gross pay is 1%, so the amount of tax paid in this case is
1% * 5000 = $50
The tax rate for the amount of value over $5,000 (that is, 54,000 - 5,000 = 49,000) is 3%, so the amount of tax is:
3% * 49,000 = $1,470
So, the total amount deducted for state taxes is:
Total taxes = 50 + 1470 = $1,520
