We choose a number from the set {1, 2, 3, ..., 100} uniformly at random and denote this number by X. For each of the following choices decide whether the two events in question are independent or not.

(a) A = {X is even}, B = {X is divisible by 5}.

(b) C = {X has two digits}, D = {X is divisible by 3}.

(c) E = {X is a prime}, F = {X has a digit 5}. Note that 1 is not a prime.
