उत्तर

\[S = \left[ \left( H H H \right) \left( H H T \right) \left( H T H \right) \left( H T T \right) \left( T H H \right) \left( T H T \right) \left( T T H \right) \left( T T T \right) \right]\] \[ P\left( A \right) = \frac{3}{8}\]
\[P\left( B \right) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[\text{ Now } , \]
\[P\left( A \cap B \right) = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}\]
\[ P\left( A \cap B \right) \neq P\left( A \right)P\left( B \right)\]
\[\text{ Thus, A and B are not independent events } .\]
