A: When one of the coins is randomly selected, it is one of the Indian pennies.B: When another one of the coins is randomly selected, it is also one of the Indian pennies.a. Determine whether events A and B are independent or dependent. (If two events are technically dependent but can be treated as if they are independent according to the 5% guideline, consider them to be independent.)b. Find P(A and B), the probability that events A and B both occur.
