(Enter your answers to 3 decimal places.)

6AM-12PM 12PM-6PM 6PM-12AM 12AM-6AM


(b) Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?

No, because they do not cover the entire sample space.Yes, because they cover the entire sample space.    Yes, because they do not cover the entire sample space.No, because they cover the entire sample space.


What is the sample space in this problem?
