Math Problem Statement
Let A and B be events and let X and Y be the Bernoulli random variables corresponding to A and B ( X = ( 1, if the outcome is in A, 0, if the outcome is in Ac ). Show that A and B are independent (P rob(A and B) = P rob(A) × P rob(B)) if and only if X and Y are independent E(XnY m) = E(Xn ) E(Y m)
