𝐶 and 𝐷 are two events such that 𝑃 𝐶 = 0.2, 𝑃 𝐷 = 0.6 and 𝑃 𝐶 𝐷 = 0.3.
A red die and a blue die are rolled and the outcome on each die is recorded. 𝐴
is the event ‘outcome on the red die is 3’, 𝐵 is the event ‘outcome on the blue
die is 3’, 𝐶 is the event ‘the sum of the outcomes on each die is 5’ and 𝐷 is the
event ‘the outcome on each die is the same’. Show that (a) 𝐴 and 𝐵 are
independent, (b) 𝐶 and 𝐷 are mutually exclusive.
The events 𝐴 and 𝐵 are mutually exclusive and 𝐵 and 𝐶 are independent.
(a) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the relationship between the three
events and the sample space.
