Statement of a problem № m102912



When a balanced coin is tossed four times, 16 equally likely outcomes are possible, as shown in the following table. Let A = event the first toss is heads, B = event the second toss is tails, and C = event the last two tosses are heads. Apply the definition of independence for three events stated in Exercise 4.204 to show that A, B, and C are independent events. In E 4.204 P(A & B) = P(A) · P(B), P(A & C) = P(A) · P(C), P(B & C) = P(B) · P(C), and P(A & B & C) = P(A) · P(B) · P(C).
