1. An experiment has four equally likely outcomes: E1, E2, E3, and E4.

a. What is the probability that E2 occurs?

b. What is the probability that any two of the outcomes occur (e.g., E1 or E3)?

c. What is the probability that any three of the outcomes occur (e.g., E1 or E2 or E4)?

2. Consider the experiment of selecting a playing card from a deck of 52 playing cards. Each card corresponds to a sample point with a 1/52 probability.
