To determine if the outcome of two events A and B is independent, you should use the following criterion:

Show that P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).

This equation confirms that the probability of both events occurring together is the product of their individual probabilities, a key characteristic of independent events.

So, the correct response is: Show that P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
