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 not.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Not independent
`P(A)=3/8and P(B)=1/2`
`P(A)P(B) =3/8xx1/2=3/16`
`P(Annb)=2/8=1/4neP(A)P(B)`
Hence, A and B aer not independent.
