Two dice are thrown together and the total score is noted. The events E, F and G are ‘a total of 4’, ‘a total of 9 or more’, and ‘a total divisible by 5’, respectively. Calculate P(E), P(F) and P(G) and decide which pairs of events, if any, are independent. Select the correct answer from above options

Given that two dice are drawn together i.e. n(S)= 36 Where S is sample space Also given that E = a of total 4 ∴E = {(2,2), (3,1), (1,3)} ∴n(E) = 3 And F= a total of 9 or more ∴ F = {(3,6), (6,3), (4,5), (5,4), (6,4), (4,6), (6,5), (6,6), (5,5), (5,6)} ∴n(F)=10 And, G = a total divisible by 5 ∴ G = {(1,4), (4,1), (2,3), (3,2), (4,6), (6,4), (5,5)} ∴ n(G) = 7 Here, (E Ո F) = φ AND (E Ո G) = φ Also, (F Ո G) = {(4,6), (6,4), (5,5)} n (F Ո G) = 3 and (E Ո F Ո G) = φ So, P (F Ո G) ≠ P(F). P(G) Hence, there is no pair which is independent
