Consider two events such that P(A) = 1/3, P(B) = 4/5, and P(A ∩ B) = 4/15. Are events A and B independent events?

Yes, they are independent because P(A) ⋅ P(B) ≠ P(A ∩ B)
No, they are dependent because P(A) ⋅ P(B) = P(A ∩ B)
Yes, they are independent because P(A) ⋅ P(B) = P(A ∩ B)
No, they are dependent because P(A) ⋅ P(B) ≠ P(A ∩ B)
