* 1.6 Independence 1.6 Independence 1.6.1 Independence Two events A and B are said to be independent if DEFINITION 1.8 Comment: 1.6 Independence Independence Let K be the event of drawing a king from a standard poker deck and D the event of drawing a diamond. Then, by Definition 1.8, K and D are independent because Example 1.24: 1.6 Independence Independence Suppose A and B are independent events. Does it follow that and are also independent? Example 1.25: The answer is “Yes.” Proof First, we know that 1.6 Independence Independence Since Therefore 1.6 Independence Independence Then we have 1.6 Independence Independence To call three events A, B, and C independent, should we require or should we require 1.6 Independence Independence Suppose two fair dice (one red and one green) are thrown, and events A, B, and C are defined as follows: A: a 1 or a 2 shows on the red die, B: a 3, 4, or 5 shows on the green die, C: the dice total is 4, 11, or 12. Example 1.26: 1.6 Independence Independence A={(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)} B={(1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 3), (4, 3), (5, 3), (6, 3), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, 4), (5, 4), (6, 4) (1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 5), (6, 5)} C={(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)} 1.6 Independence Independence What follows is but 1.6 Independence Independence A roulette wheel has 36 numbers, colored red or black . Let R be the event “red number appears,” E the event “even number appears,”
