Fifty students in the third grade class listed their hair and eye colors in the table below. Are the events "blonde hair" and "blue eyes" independent?

Yes, they are independent, or there would be no blonde children with brown eyes or any brunes with blue eyes. Also, there are only 20 children with blonde hair, while there are 22 children with blue eyes.
