A local bank reviewed its credit card policy with the intention of recalling some of its credit cards. In the past approximately 4% of cardholders defaulted, leaving the bank unable to collect the outstanding balance.

The probability of missing one or more monthly payment in the first year with the bank is 0.40 for customers who do default. Define the following events. D: Default M: Missed one or more monthly payment in the first year
