6. A box contains four disks that have different colors on each side. Disk1 is red and green, Disk2 is red and white, Disk3 is red and black, and Disk4 is green and white. One disk is selected at random from the box. Define events as follows: A = one side is red, B = one is green, C = one side is white, D = one side is black. (a) Are A and B independent events? Why or why not? (b) Are B and C independent events? Why or why not? 1 (c) Are any pairs of events mutually exclusive? Which ones?
