Consider two independent tosses of a fair coin. Let A be the event that the first toss results in heads, let B be the event that

the second toss results in heads, and let C be the event that in both tosses the coin lands on the same side. Show that the events A, B, and C are pairwise independent—that is, A and B are independent, A and C are independent, and B and C are independent—but not independent.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two independent tosses of a fair coin.

Sample space={HH,HT,TH,TT}

We have to find that A, B and C are pairwise independent.

According to question

A={HH,HT}

B={HH,TH}

C={TT,HH}

A\cap B={HH}

B\cap C={HH}

A\cap C={HH}

P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}

Using the formula

Then, we get

Total number of cases=4

Number of favorable cases to event A=2

P(A)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Number of favorable cases to event B=2

Number of favorable cases to event C=2

P(B)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

P(C)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

If the two events A and B are independent then

P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)

P(A\cap)=\frac{1}{4}

P(B\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}

P(A\cap C)=\frac{1}{4}

P(A)\cdot P(B)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}

P(B)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}

P(A)\cdot P(C)=\frac{1}{4}

P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)

Therefore, A and B are independent

P(B)\cdot P(C)=P(B\cap C)

Therefore, B and C are independent

P(A\cap C)=P(A)\cdot P(C)

Therefore, A and C are independent.

Hence, A, B and C are pairwise independent.

Explain how 9*4 can help you find 9*8
statuscvo [17]
It can help because 9×4 =36, and 9×8=72. if you divide 72 by 2 you get 36 which is the answer to 9 ×4. basically because nine is the same in both problems you are multiplying by 4 (and you know 4 is half of 8) you can assume that multiplying the sum of 4 and 9 that you will get the sum of 8 and 9.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$56.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount invested = principal, p = 3500

Interest rate, r = 6.5% = 0.065

Penalty on withdrawal = 3 month simple interest

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Time = 3 months = 3/12 = 0.25 years

Hence,

Simple interest = 3500 * 0.065 * 0.25

Simple interest = $56.875

Hence, penalty paid = $56.875
