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 number of heads is two, B = the last throw results in head.
उत्तर
\[S = \left[ \left( H H H \right) \left( H H T \right) \left( H T H \right) \left( H T T \right) \left( T H H \right) \left( T H T \right) \left( T T H \right) \left( T T T \right) \right]\] \[ P\left( A \right) = \frac{3}{8}\]
\[P\left( B \right) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[\text{ Now } , \]
\[P\left( A \cap B \right) = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}\]
\[ P\left( A \cap B \right) \neq P\left( A \right)P\left( B \right)\]
\[\text{ Thus, A and B are not independent events } .\]
