Given events A and B, such that P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.5, and P(A ∪ B) = 0.8, determine whether A and B are independent or dependent.

Yes, they are independent. 

P(A and B) = 0.3 

P(A) * P(B) = 0.3

In contract negotiations between a local government agency and its workers, it is estimated that there is a 50% chance that an agreement will be reached on the salaries of the workers. It is estimated that there is a 70% chance that there will be an agreement on the insurance benefits. There is a 20% chance that no agreement will be reached on either issue. 

Find the probability that an agreement will be reached on both issues. 

Based on this answer, determine whether the agreement on salaries and the agreement on insurance are independent events. Justify your answer.

The probability that an agreement will be reached on both issues is 0.4 

They are not independent events 

P(S and I) = 0.4 

P(S)*P(I) = 0.35
