उत्तर
We have A = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(A) = 6 and n(S) = 6 × 6 = 36
So, P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S")) = 6/36 = 1/6`
And B = {(4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
n(B) = 6 and n(S) = 36
∴ P(B) = `("n"("B"))/("n"("S")) = 6/36 = 1/6`
A ∩ B = {(5, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ P(A ∩ B) = `2/36 = 1/18`
Therefore, if A and B are independent
Then P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
⇒ `1/18 ≠ 1/6 xx 1/6`
⇒ `1/18 ≠ 1/36`
Hence, A and B are not independent events.

A fair die is rolled. If face 1 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag A. If face 2 or 3 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag B. If face 4 or 5 or 6 turns up, a ball is drawn from Bag C.
