The probabilities that an adult man has high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol are shown in the table. Are high blood pressure and high cholesterol independent? Explain.
Cholestro / Blood Pressure / OK
High / 0.15 / 0.24
OK / 0.15 / 0.46
a) No, because there are outcomes that are common between them.
b) No, because the outcome of one influences the probability of the other.
c) Yes, because the outcome of one does not influence the probability of the other.
d) Yes, because there are no common outcomes.
