The probability of getting disease X (event A) is 0.65, and the probability of getting disease Y (event B) is 0.76. The probability of getting both disease X and disease Y is 0.494. Are events A and B dependent or independent?

In this scenario, A and B are______ events.

I would say independent since the problem doesn't state any relation between disease X and disease Y. Also I beleive if it were dependent the probability of getting both wouldn't be .494 (which is .65 *.76). It would have to be probability of event A and event B, and then divided by probability of just B
