Question

Based on these data, are "being female" and "earning over $50,000" independent events?

Answer 1

Answer:

D, No, P(being female | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ P(being female)

Answer 2

Based on these data, are "being female" and "earning over $50,000" independent events. They are independent events because by being female does not mean they could earn $50,000. It would depend on how the females work their way to earn that kind of money.
