Events A and B are such that `P(A)=1/2,\ P(b)=7/(12)` and `P(` not A or not`)=1/4` . State whether A and B are independent?

Explanation

To determine whether events A and B are independent, we need to check if the following condition holds:

\[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \]

Given:
- \( P(A) = \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( P(B) = \frac{7}{12} \)
- \( P(\text{not } A \text{ or not } B) = \frac{1}{4} \)
