No, ordering a soft drink is not independent of ordering a pizza
An independent event is one that is unrelated to the likelihood of another event occurring (or not happening). In other words, the occurrence has no bearing on the likelihood that a subsequent event will also occur.
P (square pizza is ordered) = 50% or 0.5
P (Soft drink is ordered) = 72% or 0.72
P ( squared pizza and soft drink are ordered) = 36 % or 0.36
Computing independency:
Ordering pizza and ordering a soft drink will be independent if:
P (squared pizza) + P (soft drink) = 1
0.5 + 0.72 ≠1
1.22≠1
Therefore, ordering pizza and ordering a soft drink is not independent
