Pairwise and joint independence

Read Original

This article discusses a key concept in probability theory: pairwise independence does not guarantee joint independence. It uses the clear example of selecting a random point on a chessboard, where row, column, and color are pairwise independent, but row and column together determine the color, breaking joint independence. It also mentions generalizations to higher dimensions.
