Answer #1

c)

from above given parts a and b:

as P(E1) =P(E1|E2) ; therefore we see that probability of E1 does not depends on event E2,

Therefore event E1 and E2 are independent

    Suppose you flip three fair, mutually independent coins. Define the following events: Let A be the event that the first coin is heads. Let B be the event that the second coin is heads. Let C be the event that the third coin is heads. Let D be the event that an even number of coins are heads. Determine the probability space for this experiment (build the probability tree). Using the probability tree, find the probability of each of the...

    A box contains five coins. For each coin there is a different probability that a head will be obtained when the coin is tossed. (Some of the coins are not fair coins!) Let pi denote the probability of a head when the i th coin is tossed (i = 1, . . . , 5), and suppose that p1 = 0, p2 =1/4, p3 =1/2, p4 =3/4, p5 =1. The experiment we are interested in consists in selecting at random...

    A construction firm bids on two different contracts. Let E1 be the event that the bid on the first contract is successful, and define E2 analogously for the second contract. Suppose that P(E1) = 0.6 and P(E2) = 0.3 and that E1 and E2 are independent events. (a) Calculate the probability that both bids are successful (the probability of the event E1 and E2). (b) Calculate the probability that neither bid is successful (the probability of the event (not E1)...

    Five fair coins will be flipped; each coin is a different color. You may not use a calculator, but you may also leave your answer as a sum, product, and/or quotient of integers. You do not need to simplify. The events E, F, and G are defined as follows: E: There are an even number heads, G: All five coins come up heads, F: The total number of heads is > 4, H: The first coin comes up heads. Answer...
