Question

An experiment observes an integer uniformly chosen from {1.2, 3.4.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.12}

Answer 1

Answer:

Options D & E are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

For any of the options to be independent, they have to be mutually exclusive i.e A ∩ B = 0

A) A ∩ B = {1, 2, 3}. They are not mutually exclusive and so they are not independent.

B) A ∩ B = {3}. They are not mutually exclusive and so they are not independent.

C) A ∩ B = {8}. They are not mutually exclusive and so they are not independent.

D) A ∩ B = 0. They are mutually exclusive and thus they are independent.

E) A ∩ B = 0. They are mutually exclusive and thus they are independent.
