Thread: Independent and Dependent Events

can anyone of you please help me to find these answers?

Consider the following events for a family with children:
A = {children of both genders} (Hint: use ‘g’ for girl and ‘b’ for boy)
B = {at most one boy}

(a) Show that A and B are independent events if a family has three children.

(b) Show that A and B are dependent events if a family has only two children


Thnx

The events are independent if P(A and B)=P(A)P(b), and dependent otherwise.
