Suppose that we have a sample space S={E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7}, where E1, E2, ..., E7 denote the sample points. The following probability assignments appy: P(E1)= 0.05, P(E2)=0.15, P(E3)=0.15, P(E4)=0.20, P(E5)=0.10, P(E6)=0.10, and P(E7)=0.25.

Assume the following events when answering the questions

A= {E1, E4, E6}

B= {E2, E4, E7]

C= {E2, E3,E5, E7}

A) Find P (A), P (B), and P(C)

P(A)= 

P(B)= 

P(C)=

B)

- What is A U B?

- What is P (A U B)?

C)

- What is P(A U B)? (In this case the U, symbol is upside down, but I'm unaware as to how to flip/write that.

D) What is Bc (Here the c is written as the upperight portion of B)

E) What is P(Bc)? (Again, here the c is written in the upperright portion of B)

Thank You :)
