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.

This problem repeats another one in the library (at most with different numbers), so it's left out of browsing.
