The ten cards are then placed in a hat, and one card is randomly chosen (without looking) from the hat. The chance process we are interested in is what letter is on the selected card. (a) Make a table that shows the set of outcomes and the probability of each outcome. Outcome Probability (b) Consider the following events: V: the letter chosen is a vowel. F: the letter chosen falls in the first half of the alphabet (that is, between A and M). Determine the following probabilities: P(V) = P( F) = PUFS = P(V and F) = P(V or F) = (c) Are the events V and F mutually exclusive? Explain.
