While driving from his home to his workplace, chris has to pass through two traffic lights. the general probability of getting a red signal at the first traffic light (event a) is 36%. the general probability of getting a red signal at the second traffic light (event b) is 25%. the probability of chris getting a red signal at both traffic lights is 9%. in this scenario, a and b are events.

A and B are dependent events.
The general probabilities of each event to happen separately is 36% for event A and 25% for event B. When considering that Chris passes one before passing the other, indicates that whether he gets the first light open or not will affect if he gets the other one also open or not. This can even be seen by noticing how the probability of Chris getting both red lights is 9%, a much inferior probability then considering both lights separately which means that one event has influence over the other.

The answer is the first one
