Let the random variable X = the time between the moment the IRS receives your tax return forms and the moment you receive your tax refund. It is known that X follows a uniform distribution over the range of 2 weeks and 10 weeks.

Define the following events: A = {it takes more than 5 weeks to receive your federal tax refund} and B = {it takes less than 8 weeks to receive your federal tax refund}. Are the events A and B independent?
