[part2_Item#5] (Probability of an Event and Mutually Exclusive Events) THIS IS NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE!

 

The day after, their class decided to pick a
president. Despite telling the class they did not
desire for such a position, all four were the only
ones nominated. Hyunjin (A) and Seungmin (B) are
given the same chance of winning; since Jeongin
(C) is well-publicized, he is given twice the chance
of either Su-hyeok or Cheong-san; and Felix (D),
since he is known for being a crybaby, is given just
half the chance of Hyunjin. What is the probability
that:
a. Jeongin wins the election?
b. Hyunjin does not win the election?
