What is the probability that it occurs in the first half of the alphabet? What is the probability that it is a letter after x? You are going shopping this weekend at the local mall. Suppose that the mall you go to has four entrances, one on the North, one on the South, and two on the East. If you enter at random, shop and then exit at random, what is the probability that you enter and exit on the same side of the mall?
