Question
Consider the chance experiment in which the type of transmission—automatic (A) or manual (M)—is recorded for each of the next two cars purchased from a certain dealer.
(a)
What is the set of all possible outcomes (the sample space )?
Sample space = {A, M, AM} Sample space = {AA, AM, MM} Sample space = {AA, AM, MA, MM} Sample space = {A, M, AA, AM, MA, MM} Sample space = {A, M}
(b)

- The potential outcomes of an experiment consist of the following triples: (a, a, a) (b, b, b) (c, c, c) (a, b, c) (b, c, a) (c, b, a) (a, c, b) (b, a, c) (c, a, b) Assume that every outcome in the sample space is equally likely. Define the following events: A1 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's first position," A2 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's second position," and A3 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's third position." For example, (a, b, c) would be a member of A1, (b, a, c) would be a member of A2, and (c, b, a) would be a member of A3. The events A1, A2, and A3 are not mutually independent. Which of the following statements could be cited in support of this conclusion? Choose from answers below A) Events A1 and A3 are not pairwise independent B) P(A2 ∩ A3) = 1/9 C) Events A1 and A2 are not pairwise independent D) P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3) = 1/9arrow_forwardNaive Approach 1: Say A, B, C are independent ifP (A ∩B ∩C) = P (A)P (B)P (C).Suppose two six-sided dice are tossed and the outcome is noted.
