SOLUTION: If P(A) = .9, P(B) = .6, and P(A and B) = .54, are the events A and B independent? I know if A and B are independent, then P (A and B)= P(A)*P(B), but I was not sure if we knew

Question 956863: If P(A) = .9, P(B) = .6, and P(A and B) = .54, are the events A and B independent?
I know if A and B are independent, then P (A and B)= P(A)*P(B), but I was not sure if we knew that P (A and B)= P(A)*P(B) that the events were then independent.
