A pair of fair dice is tossed. Define the following events:

A: {You will roll a7 (i.e., the sum of the numbers of dots on the upper faces of the two dice is equal to 7).}

B: { At least one of the two dice is showing a 4. }

a. Identify the sample points in the events A,B,A ⋂ B, A ⋃ B, and Ac.


b. Find P(A),P(B),P(AB),P(A ⋃ B), and P(Ac)and by summing the probabilities of the appropriate sample points.


c.  Use the additive rule to find P(A ⋃ B). Compare your answer with that for the same event in part b.


d.  Are A and B mutually exclusive? Why?
