Asurvey of 1,000 men and women asked, "do you earn over $50,000 per year? " the table below shows the responses for males and females:

male female total
income over $50,000 485 385 870
income below $50,000 65 65 130
total 550 450 1,000

based on these data, are "being male" and "earning over $50,000" independent events?

a) yes, p(being male | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ p(being male)
b) yes, p(being male | the person earns over $50,000) = p(being male)
c) no, p(being male | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ p(being male)
d) no, p(being male | the person earns over $50,000) = p(being male)

will give a "brainliest answer" to the first person to respond
