Question

A pair of fair dice is tossed. Define the following events: A: {You will roll a 7.} (i.e., The sum of the dots on the up faces of the two dice is equal to 7.) B: {At least one of the two dice shows a 4.} a. Identify the sample points in the events A, B, A∪B, and A∩B. b. Find P(A), P(B), P(A∪B), P(A^c), and P(A∩B) by summing the probabilities of the appropriate sample points. c. Find P(A∪B) using the additive rule. Compare your answer to the one you obtained in part b. d. Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Why?
