Determine whether events A and B are independent or dependent. (If two events are technically dependent but can be treated as if they are independent according to the 5% guideline consider them to be independent ) b. Find P(A and B), the probability that events A and B both occur a. Choose the correct answer below 0 A. O B. The two events are independent because the 5% guideline indicates that they may be treated as independent. The two events are dependent because the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other The two events are dependent because the occurrence of one affects the probability of the occurrence of the other ° C. D. The two events are independent because the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other. b. The probability that events A and B both occur is Round to four decimal places as needed) Enter your answer in the answer box and then click Check Answer Clear All Check Answer
