4. The experiment is to draw a card from a standard deck of cards. Consider the following events: Q = drawing a Queen R = drawing a red card
a. Are Q and R mutually exclusive? Clearly explain.
b. Find P(Q) and P(Q|R).
c. Are the events Q and R independent? Clearly explain.
Q=Drawing a queen card
R=Drawing a red card
a. Q and R are not mutually exclusive.
Mutually exclusive even means both can't occure at the same time.
But queen card and red both can occure art the same time (We have 2 cards which are queen as well as red)
b.
P(Q)
as there are 4 queen cards in deck
P(R)
As there are 26 red card in standard deck
c.
As
Q and R are independent events.
