Suppose that we have a sample space with five equally likely experimental outcomes: 
E1, E2, E3, E4, E5.
 Let
A  =  {E1, E4}
B  =  {E2, E3}
C  =  {E2, E4, E5}.
(a)
Find 
P(A), P(B), and P(C).
P(A)
=
P(B)
=
P(C)
=
(b)
Find 
P(A ∪ B).
P(A ∪ B)
 = 
Are A and B mutually exclusive?
They     mutually exclusive.
(c)
Find 
AC.
 (Enter your answer in set notation.)
AC = 
 
 
 
Find 
CC.
 (Enter your answer in set notation.)
