Answer:
They are not independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
E = Occurrence of 1 on first die
F = Sum of the uppermost occurrence in both die is 5
Required
Are E and F independent
First, we need to list the sample space of a roll of a die
Next, we list out the sample space of F
In (1): the sample space of E is:
So:
In (2): the sample space of F is:
So:
For E and F to be independent:
Substitute values for P(E) and P(F)
This gives:
However, the actual value of P(E and F) is 0.
This is so because and
have 0 common elements:
So:
Compare and
.
These values are not equal.
Hence: the two events are not independent
