Since , A be the event of number obtained is even then A= \left \{ 2,4,6 \right \} and B be the event of number obtained is red then A= \left \{ 2,4,6 \right \}
and B be the event of number obtained is red then, B= \left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}
\therefore A\cap B= \left \{ 2 \right \}
so p\left ( A \right )= \frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}         p\left ( B \right )= \frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}\; ;\; p\left ( A\cap B \right )= \frac{1}{6}
Now p\left ( A\cap B \right )\neq p\left ( A \right )\cdot p\left ( B \right )
\frac{1}{6}\neq \frac{1}{4}
Hence the event A and B are not independent events
