Consider an experiment of tossing 3 coins simultaneously. Define the following events:

EE = [Three heads or three tails appear]

FF = [At least two heads appear] and

GG = [At most two heads appear]

Choose the correct option:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Sample space has 88 outcomes. P(E)=2/8=1/4P(E)=2/8=1/4, P(F)=4/8=1/2P(F)=4/8=1/2, P(G)=7/8P(G)=7/8. E∩F={HHH}E\cap F = \{HHH\}, P(E∩F)=1/8=P(E)P(F)P(E\cap F)=1/8 = P(E)P(F). So E and F are independent.
