Using the notation M2F1, for example, to denote the simple event that the first position is filled by the second male applicant and the second position is then filled by the first female applicant,
(a) List the elements of a sample space S;
(b) List the elements of S corresponding to event A that the position of assistant professor is filled by a male applicant;
(c) List the elements of S corresponding to event B that exactly 1 of the 2 positions was filled by a male applicant;
(d) List the elements of S corresponding to event C that neither position was filled by a male applicant;
(e) List the elements of S corresponding to the event A ∩ 5 ;
