    space: S= {1,2,3,4,5,6} Events: E₁= {3} – rolling a number 3 E₂= {2, 4, 6} - rolling an even number E₃= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} - you roll a number between 1 and 6. E₃= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is a certain event. 17 out of this is an impossible event due to the fact that there is no possible way for 17 to be in that grouping. Which leads to an empty set.

    accredit the causes of random events, make unsound choices when faced with doubt and constantly undervalue the role of chance. The probability that two events will both occur can never be greater than the probability that each will occur individually. Mlodinow says, this is do to “simple arithmetic: the chances that event A will occur = the chances that events A and B will occur + the chance that event A will occur and event B will not occur.” If two possible events, A and B, are independent, then
