A fair coin is tossed three times. Let A, B and C be defined as follows: -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

The sample space is S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} A = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}, B = {HHH, HHT, THH, THT} and C = {HHT, THH} Also, A ∩ B = {HHH, HHT}, B ∩ C = {HHT, THH}, C ∩ A = {HHT}P (A) = \(rac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{4}{8}\) = \(rac{1}{2}\),  P(B) = \(rac{n(B)}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{4}{8}\) = \(rac{1}{2}\),  P(C) = \(rac{n(C)}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{2}{8}\) = \(rac{1}{4}\),P (A ∩ B) = \(rac{n[(A\,\cap\,B)]}{n(S)}\) = \(rac{2}{8}\) = \(rac{1}{4}\). Similarly, P (B ∩ C) = \(rac{2}{8}\) = \(rac{1}{4}\) and P (C ∩ A) = \(rac{1}{8}\).Now, P (A) . P (B) = \(rac{1}{2}\) x \(rac{1}{2}\) = \(rac{1}{4}\) = P (A ∩ B), therefore, A and B are independent events.P (B) . P (C) = \(rac{1}{2}\) x \(rac{1}{4}\) x \(rac{1}{8}\) ≠ P (B ∩ C) which is \(rac{1}{4}\) . Therefore, B and C are not independent events.P (C) . P (A) = \(rac{1}{4}\) x \(rac{1}{2}\) x \(rac{1}{8}\) = P(C ∩ A) Therefore, C and A are independent events.Three events A, B and C are independent if: (i) P (A ∩ B) = P (A). P (B), P (A ∩ C) = P (A). P (C) and P (B ∩ C) = P (B). P (C), i.e., if the events are pairwise independent and (ii) P (A ∩ B ∩ C) = P (A) . P (B) . P (C)
