In any given turn while playing a board game, the probability that a player will land on a blue square is 0.300. If the probability of winning a second turn and landing on a blue square is 0.036, are the two independent? A) No, since the probability that both events occur is a nonzero B) Yes, since 0.036 < 0.120 and 0.036 < 0.300 C) No, since 0.120 + 0.300 ≠ 0.036 D) Yes, since 0.120(0.300) =
