2.3.2 Conditional probability (A-level only)

Question 3

A survey of 80 software developers records the programming languages they use.

Of the 80 developers, 50 use Python, 32 use Java and 20 use both Python and Java.

One of the 80 developers is chosen at random. The event $Y\,$ is defined as the developer uses Python, and the event $J\,$ is defined as the developer uses Java.

Determine whether the events $Y\,$ and $J\,$ are independent. Fully justify your answer.
