A) Independent
B) 1/4
P(AandB)= P(A) * P(B)= 26/52 * 1/2=26/104=1/4

On a school board, 2 of the 4 female members are over 40 years of age, and 5 of the 6 male members are over 40. If one person did not attend the meeting, what is the probability that the person was a male or a member over 40?
4/5
P(male or over 40)= P(male) + P(over 40) - P(male and over 40) = 6/10+ 7/10 - 5/10= 8/10= 4/5
