$\mathrm{A}$ die is thrown. If $\mathrm{E}$ is the event $'$ the number appearing is a multiple of $3'$ and $F$ be the event $'$ the number appearing is even $^{\prime}$ then find whether $E$ and $F$ are independent ?

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.

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.
