✦ Synopsis
For an arbitrary subselection of the identities defining the stochastic independence (of several events), there exist random events, with prescribed probabilities, satisfying only the identities from the subselection. A similar statement holds if the events are required to be exchangeable.

Why do some quite complex events appear to be built up from seemingly independent elementary events? It is, of course, fortunate that this is so, for otherwise, it would be hard to analyze the world around us. But the technical question remains. It is here argued that a sufficient condition is that
Let (Y(G~,~) denote the independence number of the random graph Gn,p. Let d = np. We show that if E > 0 is fixed then with probability going to 1 as n + m cu(G& -$t (log d -log log dlog 2 + 1) < 7 provided d, s d = o(n), where d, is some fixed constant.
