HOMEWORK #1 due Monday 9-19
Section 1.4 (page 15) -- 2, 6, 8, 10
(Notes: In Problem 6, interpret ``as subsets of S'' as ``list the
points in the event''. Viewing S as a set of ordered pairs may be helpful.
In Problem 8, the text uses the symbol A both for ``blood
type'' and as a particular event, namely that the point reacts with the
anti-A antigen. In your answer, write the event A as C and the
event B as D. )

(Notes: In Problems 6 and 8, treat sample spaces as
equally-weighted sets of ordered pairs or ordered triples or etc. as in
the de Mere examples.)
