a. experiences neither depression nor weight gain.

Calculate the probability of experiencing neither depression nor weight gain.

Let \( P(D) = 0.32 \) (probability of depression), \( P(W) = 0.30 \) (probability of weight gain), and \( P(D \cap W) = 0.13 \) (probability of both).
The probability of experiencing neither is:
\[ P(\text{Neither}) = 1 - P(D) - P(W) + P(D \cap W) = 1 - 0.32 - 0.30 + 0.13 = 0.51
\]

\\(\boxed{0.5100}\\)

b. experiences depression, given that the patient experiences weight gain.

Calculate the conditional probability of depression given weight gain.

The conditional probability is:
\[ P(D \mid W) = \frac{P(D \cap W)}{P(W)} = \frac{0.13}{0.30} \approx 0.4333
\]

\\(\boxed{0.4333}\\)

c. experiences weight gain, given that the patient experiences depression.

Calculate the conditional probability of weight gain given depression.

The conditional probability is:
\[ P(W \mid D) = \frac{P(D \cap W)}{P(D)} = \frac{0.13}{0.32} \approx 0.4063
\]

\\(\boxed{0.4063}\\)

d. Are depression and weight gain mutually exclusive?

Check if \( P(D \cap W) = 0 \).

Since \( P(D \cap W) = 0.13 \neq 0 \), depression and weight gain are not mutually exclusive.

\\(\boxed{\text{no}}\\)

e. Are depression and weight gain independent?

Check if \( P(D \cap W) = P(D) \cdot P(W) \).

Calculate \( P(D) \cdot P(W) = 0.32 \cdot 0.30 = 0.096 \).
Since \( P(D \cap W) = 0.13 \neq 0.096 \), depression and weight gain are not independent.

\\(\boxed{\text{no}}\\)

a. \\(\boxed{0.5100}\\)
b. \\(\boxed{0.4333}\\)
c. \\(\boxed{0.4063}\\)
d. \\(\boxed{\text{no}}\\)
e. \\(\boxed{\text{no}}\\)
