To determine if the outcome of two events \( A \) and \( B \) is independent, the correct criterion is:

Show that \( P(A \text{ and } B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) \).

This means that if the probability of both events occurring together (the joint probability) is equal to the product of their individual probabilities, then the events are independent.
