    Are GPA and Skipped Classes Related Through Conditional Probabilities?

    Many skipped classes: GPA < 2 = 80 people, GPA between 2 and 3 = 25 people, GPA > 3 = 5 people Few skipped classes: GPA < 2 = 175 people, GPA between 2 and 3 = 450 people, GPA > 3 = 265 Are "GPA between 2 and 3" and "skipped few classes" independent? A. No, b/c .475 does not equal .506...
