Let two fair six-faced dice \(A\) and \(B\) be thrown simultaneously. If  \(E_1\) is the event that die \(A\) shows up four, \(E_2 \) is the event that die \(B\) shows up two and \(E_3\) is the event that the sum of numbers on both dice is odd, then which of the following statements is NOT true \(?\)

  1. A \(E_1 \) and \(E_3 \) are independent.
  2. B \(E_1 , E_2\)  and \(E_3 \) are independent.
  3. C \(E_1\)and \(E_2\) are independent.
  4. D \(E_2  \) and \(E_3 \) are independent.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(E_1 , E_2\)  and \(E_3 \) are independent.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E_{1} \rightarrow A\) shows up 4 \(\mathrm{E}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}\) shows up 2 \(E_{3} \rightarrow \operatorname{Sum}\) is odd (i.e. even \(+\) odd or odd \(+\) even) \(\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{E}_{1}\right)= \frac{6}{6.6}=\frac{1}{6}\)…
