2 In a group of students, \(\frac { 3 } { 4 }\) are male. The proportion of male students who like their curry hot is \(\frac { 3 } { 5 }\) and the proportion of female students who like their curry hot is \(\frac { 4 } { 5 }\). One student is chosen at random.
  1. Find the probability that the student chosen is either female, or likes their curry hot, or is both female and likes their curry hot.
  2. Showing your working, determine whether the events 'the student chosen is male' and 'the student chosen likes their curry hot' are independent.
