Total outcomes $=\left \{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \right \}=6$ .

$A$ is the event, ‘the number is even,’

Outcomes of A $=\left \{ 2,4,6 \right \}$

$n(A)=3.$

$P(A)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

$B$ is the event, ‘the number is red’.

Outcomes of B $=\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$

$n(B)=3.$

$P(B)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore (A\cap B)=\left \{ 2 \right \}$

$n(A\cap B)=1$

$P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{6}$

Also,

$P(A\cap B)=P(A).P(B)$

$P(A\cap B)=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\neq \frac{1}{6}$

Thus, both the events A and B are not independent.
