(A) The sample space $S$ for a single toss of a fair die is $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$,so the total number of outcomes is $n(S) = 6$.Let $E$ be the event that the number $4$ or $5$ turns up. Then $E = \{4, 5\}$,so $n(E) = 2$.The probability of event $E$ is $P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$.The probability of the complement event $E^c$ (the event that $4$ or $5$ does not turn up) is $P(E^c) = 1 - P(E) = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$.The odds against an event $E$ are given by the ratio $P(E^c) : P(E)$.Thus,the odds against $E$ are $\frac{2}{3} : \frac{1}{3} = 2 : 1$.

Let $A$ and $B$ be independent events with $P(A)=0.3$ and $P(B)=0.4$. Find $P(A \cup B)$.

There are three events $A, B, C$,one of which must and only one can happen. The odds are $8:3$ against $A$,$5:2$ against $B$,and the odds against $C$ are $43:17k$. Then the value of $k$ is:

The probability of an event happening is the square of the probability of a second event,but the odds against the first are the cube of the odds against the second. The probabilities of the events are:
