Unfortunately they are not. Just take the case of D, E, G. n(D cap E) != empty because there are Perl programmers who are also bash programmers. Similarly for n(D cap G), n(D cap E cap G), etc. The assumption of independence is a bit careless, but it does simplify computations. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
