Problem

A single card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Let A be the event “the card drawn is a heart” and B be the event “the card drawn is an ace.” a. (i) Find P(A)P(A) and P(B)P(B). b. (ii) Find P(A∩B)P(A\cap B), the probability that the card drawn is both a heart and an ace. c. (iii) Verify whether A and B are independent by comparing P(A∩B)P(A\cap B) with P(A) P(B)P(A)\,P(B). d. (iv) Decide, with reason, whether A and B are mutually exclusive.
