Question

if you toss a die once, consider the two events , you get a 5 OR 6. YOU GET AT MOST 3. are these events independent, explain WHY OR WHY NOT

Answer 1

Answer: These events are independent.

Explanation:

Two events are considered independent if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event. In this case, getting a 5 or 6 on a dice toss and getting at most 3 on a dice toss are independent events.

This is because the probability of getting a 5 or 6 is 2/6 or 1/3, which is completely unrelated to the probability of getting at most 3, which is 3/6 or 1/2. The outcome of getting a 5 or 6 does not affect the probability of getting at most 3, and vice versa. Therefore, these events are independent.
