240 adults who own 4-door or 2-door cars were surveyed, and the results were recorded in this table. Are the events M = "is male" and S= "owns a 2-door" independent? Why or why not?

A) Yes; because P(M & S) = P(M) + P(S).
B) No; because P(M & S) ≠ P(M) + P(S).
C) Yes; because P(M & S) = P(M) · P(S).
D) No; because P(M & S) ≠ P(M) · P(S).
