5.3 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose {A,B} ci |C\left\{A , B\right\} ci \left|\right. C and {A,B} ci |Cc\left\{A , B\right\} ci \left|\right. C^{c}, P(C)=0.7P \left(C\right) = 0 . 7, and

P ( A | C ) = 0 . 4 P ( B | C ) = 0 . 6 P ( A | C c ) = 0 . 3 P ( B | C c ) = 0 . 2 P \left(\right. A \left|\right. C \left.\right) = 0 . 4 P \left(\right. B \left|\right. C \left.\right) = 0 . 6 P \left(\right. A \left|\right. C^{c} \left.\right) = 0 . 3 P \left(\right. B \left|\right. C^{c} \left.\right) = 0 . 2

Show whether or not the pair {A,B}\left\{A , B\right\} is independent.
