three coins are tossed.show that the events "heads on the first coin" and the event "tails on the last two coins " are independent
----------------
Show P(A) = P(A|B)
-------------------------
P(heads on 1st of three) = P(heads of 1st of three|tails on last two)
-----
P(heads on 1st ) = (1/2)
P(heads on 1st of three) = (1/2)(1)(1) = 1/2
