ASSIGNMENT PROBABILITY

1. An experiment involves rolling a pair of dice and recording the numbers that come up. Describe
the following events.
A = the sum is greater than 8.
B = 2 occurs on either die.
C = the sum is at least 7 and a multiple of 3.
Also, find A  B, B  C and A  C. Are:
(i) A and B mutually exclusive?
(ii)B and C mutually exclusive?
(iii) A and C mutually exclusive?
2. Two dice are thrown and the sum of the numbers which come up on the dice is noted. Let us
consider the following events:
A = the sum is even
B = the sum is multiple of 3
C = the sum is less than 4
D = the sum is greater than 11
Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?
3. Three coins are tossed once. Describe the following events associated with this random
experiment:

(ii) Which events are elementary events?
(iii) Which events are compound events?
4. The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 are written separately on four slips of paper. The slips are then put in a
box and mixed thoroughly. A person draws two slips from the box, one after the other, without
replacement. Describe the following events:
A = The number on the first slip is larger than the one on the second slip.
B = The number on the second slip is greater than 2
C = The sum of the numbers on the two slips is 6 or 7
D = The number on the second slips is twice that on the first slip.
Which pair(s) of events is (are) mutually exclusive?
