Final answer:

In order to determine if events A and B are independent, we need to compare the probability of their intersection with the product of their individual probabilities. However, since no information is provided about events A and B or their probabilities, we cannot determine if they are independent or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are independent if the probability of their intersection, P(A AND B), is equal to the product of their individual probabilities, P(A) and P(B). If P(A AND B) = P(A)P(B), then events A and B are independent. If not, then they are dependent.

In the given question, we need to compare P(A AND B) with P(A)P(B) to determine if events A and B are independent. If they are equal, the answer is yes, otherwise the answer is no.

However, since the question does not provide any information about events A and B or their probabilities, we cannot determine if they are independent or not. Therefore, the answer is D. Not enough information given to determine the answer.
