(b) Events A and B are not independent.
Answer:
Events A and B are mutually exclusive.
Explanation :
When two dices are rolled , we have n(S) = 36.
Now, A = event that the sum is even
A = ( 1,1) , ( 1,3) , (1,5) , ( 2,2) , (2,4,), (2,6), (3,1),(3,3), (3,5), (4,2), (4,4), (4,6), (5,1), (5,3), (5,5),(6,2), (6,4), (6,6)
B = event that the sum is odd
B = ( 1,2) , ( 1,4) , (1,6) , (2,1), (2,3), (2,5), (3,2) ,(3,4), (3,6), (4,1), (4,3), (4,5), (5,2), (5,4), (5,6),(6,1), (6,3), (6,5).
The intersection of A and B is 0.
Hence, they are mutually exclusive events.
