Question 1167317
.
<pre>

We are given


    P(a student studies for examinations) = 0.6,


    P(a student gets a good grade in examination) = 0.7,


    P(a student studies AND gets a good grade) = 0.52.



To answer the problem's question, we should check if the product of the first two values is the same as the third value.


But 0.6*0.7 = 0.42  is not equal to 0.52,  


THEREFORE, the events  “student studies”  and  “student gets a good grade “   ARE NOT independent.    <U>ANSWER</U>
