A.For questions 1&2, determine whether each compound event described below is mutually inclusive, mutually exclusive, independent, or dependent. Explain your choice.
1. Rolling a 6 on a die and choosing a queen from a deck of cards. (See Ex. 2)
2. A teacher has a prize bag from which she will choose prizes for two students. The bag contains 8 tootsie rolls and 10 lollipops. She will choose for student 1, then for student 2. (See Ex. 3)
B. Suppose that Adam rolls a fair six-sided die and a fair eight-sided die simultaneously. Let A be the event that the six-sided die is an even number and B be the event that the eight-sided die is an odd number. Using the sample space of possible outcomes below, answer each of the following questions.
