Question 1121848: Determine whether the events in the following situations are independent:
a. In a normal 52 card deck pick one card at random. Let E be the event that the selected card is an
ace and let F be the event that it is a spade.
b. Two fair coins are flipped. Let E be the event that the first coin lands heads. Let F be the event
that the second lands tails.
c. Suppose two fair dice are tossed. Let E denote the event that the sum of the dice is 7 and let F
denote the event that the first die equals 4 Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is independent, for if the card picked is an Ace, there is no information given as to the suit.
Independent. One coin doesn't affect the other.
Sum of the dice is 7 does not give information about the first die. It could be any number. Independent.
