Question 1121848: Determine whether the events in the following situations are independent:
a. In a normal 52 card deck pick one card at random. Let E be the event that the selected card is an
ace and let F be the event that it is a spade.
b. Two fair coins are flipped. Let E be the event that the first coin lands heads. Let F be the event
that the second lands tails.
c. Suppose two fair dice are tossed. Let E denote the event that the sum of the dice is 7 and let F
denote the event that the first die equals 4

It is independent, for if the card picked is an Ace, there is no information given as to the suit.
Independent. One coin doesn't affect the other.
