1.Take simultaneously 4 cards out of a standard deck of 52. Recall that in such a deck there are exactly 4 Aces and exactly 4 Kings. Let A = At least 2 of the cards taken are Aces and B = At least 2 of the cards taken are Kings.
Referring to the events A and B from the previous question we have:
A A and B are independent
B The contrary of A implies B
C P(A and B)<.1
D A and B are incompatible
2.
Consider a sample space S, a probability P on S, and 7 independent events denoted A^1, A^2, ..., A^7 included in S. Which of the following is NOT true?
A A^1, A^2, A^6 are independent
B The contrary of A^2 and the contrary of A^5 are independent
C A^3, the contrary of A^4 and the contrary of A^7 are pairwise independent
D At least 2 of the 7 given events are incompatible
