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.
B
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.

A 5-column table has 4 rows. The first column has entries A, B, C, Total. The second column is labeled X with entries 10, 110, 60, 180. The third column is labeled Y with entries 80, 44, 59, 183. The fourth column is labeled Z with entries 61, 126, 110, 297. The fifth column is labeled Total with entries 151, 280, 229, 660.

Question illustration
A
Z and B are independent events because P(Z∣B) = P(Z).
B
Z and B are independent events because P(Z∣B) = P(B).
C
Z and B are not independent events because P(Z∣B) ≠ P(Z).
D
Z and B are not independent events because P(Z∣B) ≠ P(B).
