Measurements for the length and width of rectangular plastic covers for CDs are rounded to the nearest mm. Let X denote the length and Y denote the width. Assume that the joint probability of X and Y is represented by the following table:      

                                   x = length, y = width

  113 114 115
13 0.24 0.65 0.09
14 0.10 0.30 0.06

Are X and Y independent?
