Question
**Probability and Independence of Events**

In a probability space, consider events \(E\) and \(F\) such that the probabilities \( \mathbb{P}(E) \neq 0 \) and \( \mathbb{P}(F) \neq 0 \). Additionally, it is given that:

\[ \mathbb{P}(E|F) = \mathbb{P}(F|E) \]

The question is whether this implies that \(E\) and \(F\) must be independent. 

**Options:**

- ○ true
- ○ false
