Answer:
(a) S = {GH, GT, BH, BT, RH and RT}
(b) The value of P (A) is 0.15.
(c) A and B mutually exclusive.
(d) A and C are not mutually exclusive.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 10 cards in a special deck of cards: 4 are green (G), 3 are blue (B), and 3 are red (R).
Also when a card is picked, its color of it is recorded. An experiment consists of first picking a card and then tossing a coin.
(a)
The sample space is:
S = {GH, GT, BH, BT, RH and RT}
(b)
A = a blue card is picked first, followed by landing a head on the coin toss
Compute the probability of event <em>A</em> as follows:


Thus, the value of P (A) is 0.15.
(c)
B = a red or green is picked, followed by landing a head on the coin toss.
The result of the coin toss is same for both events A and B.
So, consider the events,
A as a blue card is picked first
B as a red or green is picked
There is no intersection point for the two events.
Thus, events A and B mutually exclusive.
(d)
C = a red or blue is picked, followed by landing a head on the coin toss.
The result of the coin toss is same for both events A and C.
So, consider the events,
A as a blue card is picked first
C as a red or blue is picked
There is an intersection point for the two events.
Thus, events A and C are not mutually exclusive.
