At a certain university, 70% of the students own cars. However, only 45% of the

residence hall students own cars. Are the events owning a car and living in a residence
hall independent? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


No; P(owning car) = .7 and P(owning car | residence hall) = .45; Since these probabilities are not equal, the events
are not independent.
