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.

Four persons can hit a target correctly with probabilities $\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac {1}{8}$ respectively. If all hit at the target independently, then the probability that the target would be hit, is
