CUET
-- Mathematics - Section B1
Probability
A fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed. Let a be the event 'head appears on the coin' and B be the event ' 3 on the die'. Check whether A bad B independent events or not. |
A and B are independent events. A and B are dependent events. A and B may or may not be Independent None of these |
A and B are independent events. |
if a fair coin and an unbiased die are tossed, then the sample space S is given by, S= {(H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4), (H, 5),(H, 6), (T, 1), (T, 2), (T, 3), (T, 4), (T, 5), (T, 6)} Let A: Head appears on the coin A = {(H, 1), (H, 2), (H, 3), (H, 4), (H, 5),(H, 6)} ⇒ P(A) = 6/12 = 1/2 B : 3 on die = {(H, 3), (T, 3)} P(B) = 2/12 = 1/6 So, A∩B = {(H, 3)} P(A∩B) = 1/12 P(A). P(B) = (1/2)x (1/6) = 1/12 = P(A∩B) Therefore, A and B are independent events. |
