(Johnsonbough[Notes 1]) A coin with probability

[math]p[/math] for heads is tossed [math]n[/math] times. Let [math]E[/math] be the event “a head is obtained on the first toss' and [math]F_k[/math] the event `exactly [math]k[/math] heads are obtained.” For which pairs [math](n,k)[/math] are [math]E[/math] and [math]F_k[/math] independent?
