**Problem Statement:** Consider a certain random variable \( X \) that may take on one of 8 equally likely outcomes: \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_8 \). Also consider the following events, which consist of the following subsets of \( X \)'s sample space: - \( A \in \{x_1, x_2, x_3\} \) - \( B \in \{x_4, x_5, x_6\} \) - \( C \in \{x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8\} \) a. Calculate \( P(A) \), \( P(B) \), and \( P(C) \). b. Calculate \( P(A \cup B) \). Are events \( A \) and \( B \) mutually exclusive?
