2. Two dice are rolled. Find the probabilities of the following, as reduced fractions, and justify. Use the formula sheet if needed for help.

a. Consider the events: E = {the card is an even-numbered card}, F = {The card is an odd numbered card}. Are these events independent, mutually exclusive, both or neither? Justify. 

**Probability and Statistics Concepts**

**Basic Probability Principle**

\[ P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)} \]

Where \( n(E) \) is the number of favorable outcomes, and \( n(S) \) is the total number of possible outcomes.

**Union Rule**

- For sets: \( n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) \)
- For probability: \( P(E \cup F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E \cap F) \)

**Product Rule**

\[ P(E \cap F) = P(E) \cdot P(F|E) = P(F) \cdot P(E|F) \]

**Complement Rule (Probability)**

- \( P(E') = 1 - P(E) \)
- \( P(E) = 1 - P(E') \)

**Complement Rule (Number of Outcomes)**

- \( n(E) = n(S) - n(E') \)
- \( n(E') = n(S) - n(E) \)

**Conditional Probability**

\[ P(E|F) = \frac{n(E \cap F)}{n(F)} = \frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(F)} \]

**Number of Subsets**

If a set has \( n \) elements, it has \( 2^n \) subsets.

**Odds**

- Odds in favor of \( E \): \( \frac{P(E)}{P(E')} \)
- If odds in favor of \( E \) are \( m : n \), then \( P(E) = \frac{m}{m+n} \)

**Bayes’ Theorem**

\[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(E|F) \cdot P(F)}{P(E)} \]

- Special Case: 

\[ P(F|E) = \frac{P(F) \cdot P(E|F)}{P(F) \cdot P(E|F) + P(F') \cdot P(E|F')} \]

**Permutations**

\[ P(n, k) = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!} \]

**Combinations**

\[ C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} \]

**Distinguishable Permutations**

\[ \frac{n
