One student will be selected at random from the class.
Consider the events:
X: the selected student is female
Y: the selected student is right-handed.
Which statement about events X and Y is true?
O The events are independent because the number of right-handed students in the class is larger than the
number of female students.
O The events are independent because the number of categories for dominant hand is different from the
number of categories for gender.
The events are not independent because for one of the dominant hand categories the number of female
students is 0.
The events are not independent because the probability of Xis not equal to the probability of X given Y.
