Two fair six-sided dice, one red and one blue, are rolled. Let A be the event that the sum of the two dice equals 7, and let B be the event that the red die shows an even number.
(a)
Prove that events A and B are independent.
The red die is now replaced by a biased die on which the probability of rolling each even number is twice the probability of rolling each odd number. The blue die remains fair. Let C be the event that the sum of the two dice equals 8, and let D be the event that the red die shows an even number. [4 marks]
(b)
(i) Find P(C). [3 marks]
(ii) Prove that events C and D are not independent. [3 marks]
