Answer
The events “bachelor’s degree” and “lives in Washington, D.C.” are not independent.
Work Step by Step
$P(bachelor’s~degree)=0.279$
$P(bachelor’s~degree~|~lives~in~Washington,~D.C.)=0.485$
According to the definition, page 292, two events E and F are independent if P(E | F) = P(E).
But, $P(bachelor’s~degree~|~lives~in~Washington,~D.C.)\ne P(bachelor’s~degree)$.
The events “bachelor’s degree” and “lives in Washington, D.C.” are not independent.
