Please show work so I understand the possible outcomes

# Independent or Mutually Exclusive Events

Consider the sample space \( S = \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\} \).

We have two events: 
- \( A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \)
- \( B = \{3, 4, 5, 6\} \)

### Questions

1. **What is \( P(A) \)?**
   - Input the probability of event \( A \).

2. **What is \( P(A|B) \)?**
   - Input the conditional probability of \( A \) given \( B \).

### Determine the Nature of Events

- **Are \( A \) and \( B \) independent events?**
  - Yes, they are independent!
  - No, they are not independent!

- **Are \( A \) and \( B \) mutually exclusive events?**
  - Yes, they are mutually exclusive!
  - No, they are not mutually exclusive!

Expert Solution
Step 1

The value of PA is,

PA=nAnS=48=0.5

Therefore, the value of PA is 0.5.

The value of PB is,

PB=nBnS=48=0.5

The value of PB is 0.5.

The set of AB is,

AB=1,2,3,43,4,5,6=3,4

The value of PA|B is,

PA|B=PABPB=nABnSnBnS=2848=24=0.5

Therefore, the value of PA|B is 0.5.
