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

Explanation

To determine whether events A and B are independent, we need to analyze the given probabilities and apply the definitions of independent events.

### Step-by-step Solution:

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