These occurrences are unlikely to take place!

A and B are events that are independent of each other. To elaborate, the probability for event A is 0.36 (or 36%), while for event B it is 0.25 (or 25%). The probability of both events occurring together is 0.09 (or 9%). Therefore, the occurrence of the first traffic light being red does not affect the likelihood of the second light being red, demonstrating that A and B are indeed independent.
