Data Analysis and Probability
Probability of Compound Events
An experiment consists of tossing n coins. Let A be the event that at least 3 heads turn up, and let B be the event that all the coins turn up the same. Test A and B for independence if (i) n = 3 coins are tossed or (ii) n = 4 coins are tossed. (i) When 3 coins are tossed, determine whether events A and B are independent. Dependent Independent (ii) When 4 coins are tossed, determine whether events A and B are independent. Dependent Independent
