Three coins are tossed. Consider the events: E=three heads or three tails, F=At least two heads and G= At most two heads of the pairs (E, F), (E, G) and (F, G) which are independent? Which are dependent?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let S={HHH,HHT,HTH,THH,HTT,THT,TTH,TTT}
E={HHH,TTT}
F=(HHH,HTH,HHT,THH}
G=(HHT,HTH,THH,HTT,THT,TTH,TTT}
so E∩F={HHH}
E∩G={TTT}
F∩G={HHT,HTH,THH}
So,`P(E)=2/8,P(F)=4/8,P(G)=7/8`
and` P(E∩F)=1/8,P(E∩G)=1/8,P(F∩G)=3/8`
