1. On this problem, give exact answers using both fractions and exact decimals. One card is chosen from a set of cards that have ranks 1 to 6. Let X be the number on the card chosen. The distribution function for picking the cards is given as follows: m(1) = 6/100, m(2) = 33/100, m(3) = 11/100, m(4) = 37/100, m(5) = 8/100, m(6) = 5/100. Let E be the event "A card with an odd numbered rank is drawn," and F be the event "A card whose rank is less than or equal to 3 is drawn." (a) Compute P(E). (b) Compute P(F). (c) Before you compute P(Eʼn F), explain (in whole sentences) whether or not it is safe to use the formula P(E^ F) = P(E) · P(F) before knowing the answer to part (g). (d) Compute P(EΜF). (e) Compute P(F|E). (f) Compute P(E|F). (g) Based on some of your answers to parts (a), (b), (e), and (f), explain (in whole sentences) whether events E and F are independent or not. In your response, please write down which probabilities you are comparing, whether they are equal or not, and how their equality or difference shows that the events E and F are independent or not.
