Answer:

A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Belleville High School offers classes on three different foreign languages.

It is given that

A is event that a student is in eleventh grade

B is the event that a student is enrolled in French class.

Thus both events are independent since P(A∣B) = P(A).

Hence the answer is

A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A)
