7.5 Topic 5: Probability 39. A family wants to have two children. The children can either be male or female. What is the sample space for this experiment? (The order in which the couple has children does matter to the parents.) 40. Let the sample space S of a random experiment be the numbers 1 through 10. So, S = {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10}. Define events A, B, and C as follows. A: {1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9} B: { 2,4,5,7,9 } {1,2,3,4,5} C: (a) What outcomes are in the event AN B? (b) What outcomes are in the event BUC? (c) What outcomes are in the event C'? (d) Are the events An B and BnA the same? Why? (e) Are the events BUC and CUB the same? Why? 41.

If it is estimated that 37% of Americans will watch both tournaments, what is the probability that they will watch at least one of the golf tournaments? 46. Consider drawing two cards from a regular deck of cards (52 cards total, 4 suits, 13 cards in each suit). What is the probability that you draw two Aces if the cards are drawn (a) With replacement? (b) Without replacement?
