Using an example from the text, when we calculate the probability that a supermarket flier will be left among the canned goods if it contains a notice not to litter, we will be dealing with
 
  a. the additive rule.
  b. the superlative rule.
  c. the dependence rule.
  d. conditional probabilities.

Question 2

When we want to calculate the probability of the joint occurrence of two or more independent events, we invoke
 
  a. the multiplicative rule.
  b. the additive rule.
  c. the sum of independent probabilities.
  d. Bernoulli's rule.

Question 3

An exhaustive set of events is one which
 
  a. we can never estimate.
  b. contains all possible outcomes.
  c. contains only independent events.
  d. comes from running a very long series of sampling studies.

Question 4

Two events are mutually exclusive when
 
  a. the occurrence of one event is independent of the occurrence of the other.
  b. the occurrence of one event precludes the occurrence of the other.
  c. both events are equally likely.
  d. the first event precedes the second event.
