Two Basic Rules of Probability · Exercise 19

An experiment consists of first rolling a die and then tossing a coin.

(a) List the sample space.
(b) Let A be the event that either a three or a four is rolled first, followed by landing a head on the coin toss. Find P(A).
(c) Let B be the event that the first and second tosses land on heads. Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Explain your answer in one to three complete sentences, including numerical justification.
