Expert Solution
Step 1

let us consider A : customers at pizza palooza  order and B: order of the soft drink 

Given information ;

P( A )= 0.42

P( B)=0.8

And for both orders

 P ( A  B )=0.32we wants to ckeck that both events are independent .Events A and B are independent if the equation P(AB) = P(A) · P(B) hence  P(A) · P(B)  =0.8 × 0.42 =0.336and P(AB)=0.32which means that P(AB)   P(A) · P(B)
