Answer 1

Answer:

All events are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

$\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Chocolate}&\text{Vanilla}&\text{Total}\\\text{Adults}&0.21&0.39&0.60\\\text{Children}&0.14&0.26&0.40\\\text{Total}&0.35&0.65&1.00\end{array}$

Two events A and B are independent when

$Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)$

a) A="Chocolate"

B="Adults"

A and B="Chocolate and Adults"

$Pr(A)=0.35\\ \\Pr(B)=0.60\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.21$

Since $0.35\cdot 0.60=0.21$ events are independent

b) A="Children"

B="Chocolate"

A and B="Children and Chocolate"

$Pr(A)=0.40\\ \\Pr(B)=0.35\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.14$

Since $0.40\cdot 0.35=0.14$ events are independent

c) A="Vanilla"

B="Children"

A and B="Vanilla and Children"

$Pr(A)=0.65\\ \\Pr(B)=0.40\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.26$

Since $0.65\cdot 0.40=0.26$ events are independent
