A coin is tossed thrice and all the eight outcomes are assumed equally likely. In which of the following cases are the following events `A` and `B` are independent?
A= the first thrown results in head, B= the last thrown results in tail
A= the number of heads is odd, B= the number of tails is odd
A= the number of heads is two, B= the last throw results in head

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the events A and B are independent in the given scenarios, we will use the definition of independent events. Two events A and B are independent if: \[ P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) \] We will analyze each case one by one. ### Case 1: **Event A**: The first throw results in head. ...
