Class 12 Maths · Probability · Short Answer #42

A fair die has 1,2,3 marked red and 4,5,6 green. Test independence of A=“even” and B=“red”.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Not independent.
  1. A={2,4,6}, B={1,2,3}, A∩B={2}.
  2. P(A)=P(B)=1/2, so P(A)P(B)=1/4, but P(A∩B)=1/6.
  3. The values differ, hence A,B are not independent.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] A={2,4,6}, B={1,2,3}, A∩B={2}.
  • [1 mark] P(A)=P(B)=1/2, so P(A)P(B)=1/4, but P(A∩B)=1/6.
  • [0.5 marks] The values differ, hence A,B are not independent.
