A die marked 1, 2, 3 in red and 4, 5, 6 in green is tossed. Let A be the event 'the number is even', and B be the event, 'the number is red'. Are A and B independent?
Total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36
Number of outcomes favourable to E = 2. [i.e., (5, 6), (6, 5)]
Let F be the event that the number 5 does not appear on the first die.
Number of outcomes favourable to F = 30
Now,
Therefore, E and F are not independent events.
