Three coins are tossed simultaneously. Consider the event `E` .three heads or three tails., `F` .atleast two heads. and `G` .atmost two heads.. Of the pairs `(E, F)`, `(E, G)` and `(F, G)`, which are independent or dependent events ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(E, F)` are independent but `(E, G)` and `(F,G)` are not independent
