Previous Year Question (PYQs)
4
Let two fair six-faced dice $A$ and $B$ be thrown simultaneously.
Let $E_1$ be the event that die $A$ shows 4,
$E_2$ the event that die $B$ shows 2,
and $E_3$ the event that the sum of the two numbers on the dice is odd.
Which statement is false?
Solution
$P(E_1) = P(E_2) = \dfrac{1}{6}, \quad P(E_3) = \dfrac{1}{2}$
$P(E_1 \cap E_2 \cap E_3) = 0$ (since $4 + 2 = 6$, even)
$P(E_1)P(E_2)P(E_3) = \dfrac{1}{72}$
So they are pairwise independent, but not mutually independent.
