Consider independently rolling two fair dice, one red and the other green. Let A be the event that the red die shows 3 dots, B b
e the event that the green die shows 4 dots, and C be the event that the total number of dots showing on the two dice is 7. Are these events pairwise independent (i.e., are A and B independent events, are A and C independent, and are B and C independent)
A & B are independent events. A & C, B & C are not independent events.
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent Events are the events, whose occurrences are completely unrelated to each other.
Event A 'Red dice getting 3' & Event B 'Green die getting 4' ; are unrelated to each other. The numbers on red dice & on green dice are not dependent on each other.
Event C 'Red & Green dice numbers showing sum = 7' is dependent on the numbers coming on red & green dice , i.e events A & events B respectively. So, event C is dependent on both events A & B.
