Difference Between mutual independent and pairwise independent

They don't influence each other doesn't mean there's no effect when combined
ABA \perp B P(A,B)=P(A)P(B)P(A, B) = P(A)P(B)

Product rule which involves
Bayes Theorem

P(X,Y)=P(X)P(YX)=P(Y)P(XY)=P(XY)P(X, Y) = P(X)P(Y|X) = P(Y)P(X|Y) = P(X \cap Y)
Joint probability of X and Y is simply understood as choosing X first and choose Y given X. Confusing part is that regardless of order, reverse probability is expressed as same form.
After that we can decide
Pairwise Independence
or not
P(X)=P(XY),P(Y)=P(YX)P(X) = P(X|Y), P(Y) = P(Y|X)

Property

E[XY]=xyP(X,Y)=xP(X)yP(Y)=E[X]E[Y]E[XY] = \sum\sum xy \cdot P(X, Y) = \sum xP(X) \sum yP(Y) = E[X]E[Y]
If X and Y are independent V(X±Y)=V(X)+V(Y)V(X\pm Y) = V(X) + V(Y)
Cov(X,Y)=Corr(X,Y)=0Cov(X, Y) = Corr(X,Y) = 0
