This is the same example we did in class about the relationship between pairwise independence, and independence of three or more events. Consider the experiment of two independent fair coin tosses. This experiment has 4 elements in its sample space: {HH, HT, TH, TT}.  Let A={HH, HT} be the event that the first toss is H. Let B={HH, TH} be the event that the second toss is H. Let C={HH, TT} be the event that both tosses are equal. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
