One card is drawn at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards

Total king or queen = 8

total queen or jack = 8

E : ‘the card drawn is a king or queen’

F : ‘the card drawn is a queen or jack’.

P(E)=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}

P(F)=\frac{8}{52}=\frac{2}{13}

E\cap F : a card which is queen  = 4

P(E\cap F)=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}

P(E).P(F)=\frac{2}{13}\times \frac{2}{13}=\frac{4}{169}

\Rightarrow P(E\cap F)\neq P(E).P(F)

Hence, E and F are not independent events .
