Determining Independence with Conditional Probability

The video tutorial explains how to determine if events are independent using conditional probability. It reviews the definition of independent events and provides examples using class data to illustrate the concept. The tutorial emphasizes that events A and B are independent if the probability of A given B equals the probability of A, and vice versa. Examples include analyzing the independence of wearing jeans and being female or male, and wearing sneakers and being male. The video clarifies common misconceptions about event independence.

Explain why it is incorrect to say that events A and B are independent if the probability of A given B is the same as the probability of B.
