• 25% of the fans are wearing blue.
• 20% of the fans are wearing blue and are rooting for the away team.
• Of the fans rooting for the away team, 67% are wearing blue.

Let B be the event that a fan is wearing blue.
Are the events of rooting for the away team and wearing blue independent? Are they mutually exclusive?
