Question

3. Two fair dice are rolled. Let's define the following events: A = {sum of the numbers rolled is odd}, B = {sum of the numbers rolled is greater than 8}. (a) Find the probabilities P(A) and P(B). [Hint: first define events A and B explicitly, as a list of all outcomes in an event.] (b) Find the probabilities P(Acup B) and P(Acap B). [Hint: first define events Acup B and Acap B explicitly, as a list of all outcomes in an event.] (c) Are events A and B independent? Why?

[Hint: first define events A and B explicitly, as a list of all outcomes in an event.] (b) Find the probabilities P(A∪ B) and P(A∩ B). [Hint: first define events A∪ B and A∩ B explicitly, as a list of all outcomes in an event.] (c) Are events A and B independent? Why?
