Problem

For two events EE and FF of a sample space, it is given that P(E)=0.35P(E)=0.35, P(F)=0.55P(F)=0.55 and P(E∣F)=711P(E|F)=\dfrac{7}{11}. (i) Find P(E∩F)P(E\cap F). (ii) Hence, calculate P(F∣E)P(F|E). (iii) Using your results, decide whether the events EE and FF are independent, showing all necessary working.
