(b) both E and G, but not F, occur;
(c) at least one of the events occurs;
(d) at least two of the events occur;
(e) all three events occur;
(f) none of the events occurs;
(g) at most one of the events occurs;

(j) at most three of the events occur.
Five balls are randomly chosen, without replacement, from an urn that contains red,white, and blue balls. Find the probability that at least one ball of each color is chosen.
Let denote the number of ways of tossing a coin n times such that successive heads never appear. Argue that, where.
Hint: How many outcomes are there that start with ahead, and how many start with a tail? If denotes the probability that successive heads never appear when a coin is tossed n times, find (in terms of ) when all possible outcomes of the tosses are assumed equally likely. Compute
