In a bag, there are six red marbles and four green marbles. The red marbles are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3,4, 5, and 6. The green marbles are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
• R = a red marble
• G = a green marble
• O = an odd-numbered marble
• The sample space is S = {R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, G1, G2, G3, G4}.
S has ten outcomes. What is P(G AND O)?
Suppose that you have eight cards. Five are green and three are yellow. The five green cards are numbered . The three yellow cards are numbered . The cards are well shuffled. You randomly draw one card.
• G = card drawn is green
• E = card drawn is even-numbered
a. List the sample space.
b. _____
c. _____
d. _____
e. _____
f. Are G and E mutually exclusive? Justify your answer numerically
Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. You see a game at a local fair. You have to throw a dart at a color wheel. Each section on the color wheel is equal in area.

Let B = the event of landing on blue.
Let R = the event of landing on red.
Let G = the event of landing on green.
Let Y = the event of landing on yellow.
If you land on Y, you get the biggest prize. Find P(Y).
A shelf holds books. Eight are fiction and the rest are nonfiction. Each is a different book with a unique title. The fiction books are numbered one to eight. The nonfiction books are numbered one to four. Randomly select one book
Let F = event that book is fiction
Let N = event that book is nonfiction
What is the sample space?
E and F are mutually exclusive events. P(E) = 0.4; P(F) = 0.5. Find P(E∣F).
