    TRUE

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Event A and event B will be independent if

    P (A∩B) = P (A) * P (B)

    A={2,4}

    B={1,2,5}

    There are 6 outcomes when die is rolled.

    n (S) = 6

    A∩B={2}

    P (A∩B) = n (A∩B) / n (S) = 1/6

    P (A) = n (A) / n (S) = 2/6=1/3

    P (B) = n (B) / n (S) = 3/6=1/2

    P (A) * P (B) = 1/3*1/2=1/6

    As,

    P (A∩B) = P (A) * P (B)

    So, event A and event B are independent.
