A coin is tossed three times. Consider the following events\newline

[math]A[/math]: Heads on the first toss.\newline [math]B[/math]: Tails on the second.\newline [math]C[/math]: Heads on the third toss.\newline [math]D[/math]: All three outcomes the same (HHH or TTT).\newline [math]E[/math]: Exactly one head turns up.

  • Which of the following pairs of these events are independent?\newline (1) [math]A[/math], [math]B[/math]\newline (2) [math]A[/math], [math]D[/math]\newline (3) [math]A[/math], [math]E[/math]\newline (4) [math]D[/math], [math]E[/math]
  • Which of the following triples of these events are independent?\newline (1) [math]A[/math], [math]B[/math], [math]C[/math]\newline (2) [math]A[/math], [math]B[/math], [math]D[/math]\newline (3) [math]C[/math], [math]D[/math], [math]E[/math]
