are events "female" and "in favor A" independent?</pre>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
To answer this question, you should check if

    P(female)*P(in favor A) = P(female AND in favor A).


From the table, you have

    P(female) = {{{40/100}}} = {{{2/5}}};

    P(in favor A) = {{{19/100}}}.

    P(female AND in favor A) = {{{5/100}}}.


Now compare if  {{{(2/5)*(19/100)}}}  equals {{{5/100}}}.
