We know that the sample space is $S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$
Now $ \mathrm{E}=\{3,6\}, \mathrm{F}=\{2,4,6\}$ and $\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{F}=\{6\}$
Then $P(E)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}, P(F)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P(E \cap F)=\frac{1}{6}$
Clearly $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E} \cap \mathrm{F})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{E}) . \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{F})$
Hence $E $ and $F$ are independent events.

Consider an experiment of tossing a coin repeatedly until the outcomes of two consecutive tosses are same. If the probability of a random toss resulting in head is $\frac{1}{3}$, then the probability that the experiment stops with head is.

A box of oranges is inspected by examining three randomly selected oranges drawn without replacement. If all the three oranges are good, the box is approved for sale, otherwise, it is rejected. Find the probability that a box containing $15$ oranges out of which $12$ are good and $3$ are bad ones will be approved for sale.
