We tossed three balanced coins and listed the events as:

Event A: tail appears on the second coin.

Event B: all three coins have the same outcome.

------ Are events A and B independent?

Show the detail probability calculation to proof whether events A and B are independent or not?

Suppose that we have a box that contains two coins: A fair coin: ?(?)=?(?)=0.5 . A two-headed coin: ?(?)=1 . A coin is chosen at random from the box, i.e. either coin is chosen with probability 1/2 , and tossed twice. Conditioned on the identity of the coin, the two tosses are independent.

Problem Page Question A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Outcomes Probability HHT...
