A card is selected from a shuffled deck. What is the probability that it is either a king or a club? That it is both a king and a club?
Given the measurements.
Find the mean value and the probable error of and .Given a family of two children (assume boys and girls equally likely, that is, probability 1/2 for each), what is the probability that both are boys? That at least one is a girl? Given that at least one is a girl, what is the probability that both are girls? Given that the first two are girls, what is the probability that an expected third child will be a boy?

Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use it to solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.
A single card is drawn at random from a shuffled deck. What is the probability that it is red? That it is the ace of hearts? That it is either a three or a five? That it is either an ace or red or both?
