For two events EE and FF the following probabilities are known: P(E)=0.4,  P(F)=0.6,  P(E∣F)=0.4P(E)=0.4,\;P(F)=0.6,\;P(E\mid F)=0.4. What can you conclude about EE and FF? (a) They are mutually exclusive (b) They are dependent but not mutually exclusive (c) They are independent (d) The given data are insufficient to decide
