Explanation:

1. P(light OR domestic) = P(light) + P(domestic) − P(light AND domestic)

P(light OR domestic) = 0.62 + 0.70 − 0.55

P(light OR domestic) = 0.77

2. P(light AND not domestic) = P(light) − P(light AND domestic)

P(light AND not domestic) = 0.62 − 0.55

P(light AND not domestic) = 0.07

3. P(light GIVEN not domestic) = P(light AND not domestic) / P(not domestic)

P(light GIVEN not domestic) = 0.07 / (1 − 0.70)

P(light GIVEN not domestic) = 0.233

4. Two events are independent if P(A) × P(B) = P(A and B).

P(light) × P(domestic) = 0.62 × 0.70 = 0.434

P(light AND domestic) = 0.55

Therefore, the type and location are not independent.
