The following table of data obtained from www.baseball-almanac.com shows hit information for four players. Suppose that one hit from the table is randomly selected.

Are "the hit being made by Hank Aaron" and "the hit being a double" independent events?

a. Yes, because P(hit by Hank Aaron | hit is a double) =P(hit by Hank Aaron)

b. No, because P(hit by Hank Aaron | hit is a double) ≠P(hit is a double)

c. No, because P(hit is by Hank Aaron | hit is a double) ≠P(hit by Hank Aaron)

d. Yes, because P(hit is by Hank Aaron | hit is a double) =P(hit is a double)
