Explanation / Answer

P(A) = 1 - (125/450) = 0.7222
P(B) = 156/450 = 0.346666667
Problem 1:
since
P(A and B) = (36+43+36)/450 = 0.2556
P(A) = 0.7222
P(B) = 0.346666667
correct answer: 9) independent because P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

Problem 2:
P(A) = (125+110)/450 = 0.52222
P(B) = (148+154)/450 = 0.67111

correct answer: 2) not mutually exclusive because P(A and B)=P(B|A)*P(A)
