1. **Problem statement:**
Find the probability that a dolphin group is around in the morning and is partaking in social activities (f).
2. **Given:**
Probability of dolphin group around in the morning $P(M)$, probability of partaking in social activities $P(S)$, and combined probabilities.
3. **Formula for intersection of two events:**
$$P(M \cap S) = P(M) \times P(S|M)$$
This means the probability that both events happen is the probability of the first event times the conditional probability of the second event given the first.
4. **Calculate $P(M \cap S)$:**
Given $P(M \cap S) = 0.201$ (from the problem statement).
5. **Answer for (f):**
The probability that a dolphin group is around in the morning and partaking in social activities is $\boxed{0.201}$.
6. **Problem (g):**
Find the probability that a dolphin group is around in the morning or is partaking in social activities.
7. **Formula for union of two events:**
$$P(M \cup S) = P(M) + P(S) - P(M \cap S)$$
8. **Calculate $P(M \cup S)$:**
Assuming $P(M)$ and $P(S)$ are known or given, plug in values and subtract $0.201$.
9. **Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.**
10. **Problem (h):**
Are the events "dolphin group around in the morning" and "partaking in social activities" mutually exclusive?
11. **Definition:**
Events are mutually exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time, i.e., $P(M \cap S) = 0$.
12. **Check:**
Since $P(M \cap S) = 0.201 \neq 0$, the events are **not** mutually exclusive.
13. **Problem (i):**
Are the events "dolphin group around in the afternoon" and "partaking in social activities" independent?
14. **Definition:**
Events $A$ and $B$ are independent if $P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)$.
15. **Check:**
Calculate $P(A \cap B)$ and compare with $P(A) \times P(B)$. If equal, events are independent; otherwise, not.
