The rule, P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B) can be used to determine the probability that A and B occurs when events A and B are

The multiplication rule P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B) applies when events A and B are independent. Independence means that the occurrence of one event does not change the probability of the other. Therefore, the correct choice is independent.
