We have a bag that contains 2 red balls, 3 blue balls and 4 green balls. For our first experiment, we take a random ball from the bag, observing its colour, return the ball to the bag, and then take a second ball at random, observing its colour. i) Describe the sample space and event space for this experiment. You do not need to explicitly list every element of the event space. ii) Let BG denote the event in which the first ball drawn is blue, and the second is green. Calculate P(BG). iii) Let R denote the event in which either the first or second ball drawn is red, including the case where both are red. Calculate P(R).
