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 apply: P(E1)= .05, P(.E2) = .20, P(E3) = .20, P(E4) = .25, P(E5) =.15, P(E6) = .10, and P(E7) = .05. Let

A= {E1 E4, E6 }

B= {E2 E4, E7 }

c= {E2 E3, E6 , E7}

 

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

b. Find A∪ B and P(AB).

c. Find A ∩ B and P(A ∩ B).

d. Are events A and C mutually exclusive?
