Question 4 Please use simple probability rules
**Survey Analysis of State U Students' Satisfaction with Class Scheduling During the Pandemic**

A study was conducted to gauge the satisfaction levels among students of State U regarding the institution's handling of class schedules during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the survey revealed the following key statistics:

- 51.3% of the respondents identified as female.
- 82% of all respondents expressed dissatisfaction, responding with "no" to the satisfaction query.
- 46.1% of the respondents were both female and expressed dissatisfaction ("no").

**Statistical Question for Analysis:**
Are the events "female" and "no" independent? Justify your response.

**Explanation:**
To determine if the events "female" (F) and "no" (N) are independent, we need to compare the joint probability of these events with the product of their individual probabilities.

- Probability of being female, P(F) = 0.513
- Probability of replying "no," P(N) = 0.820
- Joint probability of being female and replying "no," P(F ∩ N) = 0.461

For events to be independent, the following condition must hold:
\[ P(F ∩ N) = P(F) \times P(N) \]

Plugging in the given values:
\[ 0.461 = 0.513 \times 0.820 \]
\[ 0.461 ≈ 0.420 \]

Since \( 0.461 \) is not equal to \( 0.420 \), the events "female" and "no" are not independent.
