Example: the probability of the intersection of three events factorizes but pairwise independence does not hold

86 Views Asked by At

Let us consider three events A,B,C.

We know that they are mutually independent iff:

1) $$P(A\cap B) = P(A)P(B)$$ $$P(B\cap C) = P(B)P(C)$$ $$P(C\cap A) = P(C)P(A)$$

2) $$P(A\cap B\cap C) = P(A)P(B)P(C)$$

Is there any example in which the condition 2) is satisfied but the 1) is not? Can you help me with this, please?
