E and F are independent because having a high GPA has no effect on the probability of a person being a heavy reader of assigned course materials.VB.E and F are dependent because being a heavy reader of assigned course materials can affect the probability of a person having a high GPA.E and F are dependent because having a high GPA has no effect on the probability of a person being a heavy reader of assigned course materials.OD.E and F are independent because being a heavy reader of assigned course materials has no effect on the probability of a person having a high GPA.(b) E: A randomly selected person at school A having a high GPA.F: A randomly selected person at school B having a low GPA.E cannot affect F and vice versa because the people were randomly selected, so the events are independent.O B. E cannot affect F because "person 1 at school A having a high GPA" could never occur, so the events are neither dependent nor independent.E can affect the probability of F because the people were randomly selected, so the events are dependent.D.E can affect the probability of F, even if the two people are randomly selected, so the events are dependent.(c) E: The unusually foggy weather in London on May 8.F: The number of car accidents in London on May 8.A.

Accepted Answer

Two events are said to be independent if occurance of one event does not effect the other.
