A lot contains 50 defective and 50 non-defective bulls. Two bulbs are drawn at random, one at a time, with replacement. The events A,B,C are defined as : A=(the first bulb is defective ) B= (the second bulb is non-defective) C=(the two bulbs are both defective or both non-defective). Determine whether (i) A,B,C are pairwise independent. (ii) A,B, C are independent. Select the correct answer from above options

Correct Answer - A::B::C::D Let `D_(1)` denotes the occurrence of a defective bulb in Ist draw. Therefore, `P(D_(1))=(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)` and let `D_(2)` denotes the occurrence of a defective bulb in Iind draw. Therefore, `P(D_(2))=(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)` and let `N_(1)` denotes the occurrence of non-defective boulb in Ist draw. Therefore, `P(N_(1))=(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)` Again, let `N_(2)` denotes the occurrence of non-defective bulb in IInd draw. Therefore, `P(N_(2))=(50)/(100)=(1)/(2)` Now, `D_(1)` is independent with `N_(1)` and `D_(2)` is independent with `N_(2)`. According to the given condition, `A={"the first bulb is defective"}={D_(1)D_(2),D_(1)N_(2)}` `B={"the second bulb is non-defective"}={D_(1)N_(2),N_(1)N_(2)}` and `C={"the two bulbs are both defective"}={D_(1)D_(2),N_(1)N_(2)}` Again, we know that, `AnnB={D_(1)N_(2)},BnnC={N_(1)N_(2)}.` `CnnA={D_(1)D_(2)}" and "AnnBnnC=phi` Also, `P(A)=P{D_(1)D_(2)}+P{D_(1)N_(2)}` `=P(D_(1))P(D_(2))+P(D_(1))P(N_(2))` `=((1)/(2))((1)/(2))+((1)/(2))((1)/(2))=(1)/(2)` Similarly, `P(B)=(1)/(2)" and "P(C)=(1)/(2)` Also, `P(AnnB)=P(D_(1)N_(2))=P(D_(1))P(N_(2))=((1)/(2))((1)/(2))=(1)/(4)` Similarly, `P(BnnC)=(1)/(4),P(CnnA)=(1)/(4)` and `P(AnnBnnC)=0.` Since, `P(AnnB)=P(A)P(B),P(BnnC)=P(B)P(C)` and `" "P(CnnA)=P(C)P(A).` Therefore, A, B and C are pairwise independent. Also, `P(AnnBnnC)neP(A)P(B)P(C)` therefore A,B and C cannot be independent.
