Two events E and F are such that :
`P(E)=0.6,P(F)=0.2` and `P(E uu F)=0.68`.
Then E and F are independent events.

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the events E and F are independent, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given probabilities. We have the following probabilities: - \( P(E) = 0.6 \) - \( P(F) = 0.2 \) - \( P(E \cup F) = 0.68 \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the probability of the union of two events. The formula for the probability of the union of two events is: \[ P(E \cup F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E \cap F) \] Substituting the known values into this formula gives us: \[ 0.68 = 0.6 + 0.2 - P(E \cap F) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation. Now, simplify the equation: \[ 0.68 = 0.8 - P(E \cap F) \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( P(E \cap F) \). Rearranging the equation to find \( P(E \cap F) \): \[ P(E \cap F) = 0.8 - 0.68 = 0.12 \] ### Step 5: Check for independence. For events E and F to be independent, the following condition must hold: \[ P(E \cap F) = P(E) \cdot P(F) \] Calculating \( P(E) \cdot P(F) \): \[ P(E) \cdot P(F) = 0.6 \cdot 0.2 = 0.12 \] ### Step 6: Compare the two probabilities. We found that: \[ P(E \cap F) = 0.12 \] and \[ P(E) \cdot P(F) = 0.12 \] Since both values are equal, we conclude that E and F are independent events. ### Conclusion: The statement that E and F are independent events is **true**. ---
