thanks EnumaElish, I think you're right, and if looking at it that way (as vector space) the maximum number of independent binary random variables above 2^n points in the sample space, is 2^n...and not n.

I've tried induction, but I still don't get it... I don't really know how to algebraically define dependent random variables (dependent by their random variable function)

Hi all, assume we have a sample space with 2^n points. (it size is 2^n for some natural n) I need to prove that the maximal number of independent binary (indicator) random variables (which are not trivial, i.e. constant) is n... Thnks, Pitter
