A fair coin is tossed three times, and the events A and B are defined as follows:

A: {At least one head is observed.}

B: {The number of heads observed is odd.}

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


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


c.  Use the additive rule to find P(A ⋃ B). Compare your answer with the one you obtained in part b.


d.  Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Why?
