Conditional Independence 1

)Suppose that we have a box that contains two coins:

  1. A fair coin:P(H)=P(T)=0.5
  2. A two-headed coin:P(H)=1

A coin is chosen at random from the box, i.e. either coin is chosen with probability1/2

, and tossed twice. Conditioned on the identity of the coin, the two tosses are independent.

Define the following events:

  • EventA: first coin toss isH
  • EventB: second coin toss isH

  • EventC: two coin tosses result inHH
  • EventD: the fair coin is chosen.

For the following statements, decide whether they are true or false.

  1. AandBare independent.
