We choose a number from the set {1, 2, 3,..., 100}, uniformly at random. Let X be the chosen number. For each of the following choices determine if the two events are independent or not. Explain why. (a) A = {X is even}, B = {X is divisible by 5}. (b) C = {X has two digits}, D = {X is divisible by 5}.
