A coin is tossed three times. Event `A`: two heads appear Event `B`: last should be head Then identify whether events `A` and `B` are independent or dependent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total sample space `S=2^3={(HHH), (HHT), (HTH), (HTT), (THH), (THT), (TTH), (TTT)}`

`n(S)=8`

Event `A`: two heads appear

`A={(HHT), (HTH), (THH)}`

`n(A)=3`

`P(A)=3/8`

Event `B`: last should be head

`B={(HHH), (HTH), (THH), (THH)}`
