In: Statistics and Probability
Consider flipping a coin 5 times, and define the following
events:
A = "The very first flip is tails"
B ="The first three flips are tails"
C = "The middle (third) flip is tails"
D = "The last three flips are tails"
E = "The very last flip is tails"
(1) Which of the following collections of events (if any) are pairwise independent?
(2) Which of the following collections of events (if any) are mutually independent?
(3) Which of the following pairs of events (if any) are
conditionally independent, given the
third set?
