There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards in a standard deck of playing cards, for a total of 52 cards. There are 4 kings to a deck, two of which are red kings and two of which are black kings. A card will be randomly selected from a standard deck of playing cards. Let A represent selecting a king and let B represent selecting a red card. Calculate the following probabilities:
P (A) =
P (A ׀ B) =
Based on these probabilities, are A and B independent events? Explain your reasoning.
