Alejandro surveyed his classmates to determine who has ever gone surfing and who has ever gone snowboarding. Let A be the event that the person has gone surfing, and let B be the event that the person has gone snowboarding.

Question illustration
A
A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.16.

A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.75.
C
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.16 and P(A) = 0.75.
D
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.75 and P(A) = 0.16.
