We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

For this case we have that:

$P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002$

And we see that $0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)$

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following events:

A= In a certain computer a memory failure

B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure

We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

$P(A) = 0.01 , P(B) = 0.02$

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

$P(A \cap B) = 0.0014$

And we want to check if the two events are independent.

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)$

For this case we have that:

$P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002$

And we see that $0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)$

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.
