• Exercises
  

  § 1.4:		2	3	4	8	10
  § 1.5:		3	5
  § 1.6:		1	5	8

• Another Problem
  Sometimes the Divinity Cafe offers Tuna Melts for lunch, sometimes they don't; sometimes they offer Vegetarian Chili, sometimes not. Both taste pretty good. We will treat these on a specific day--- say, tomorrow--- as random events.
  1. Give a Sample Space with each of the possible outcomes. How many possible outcomes are there?
  2. Does an equally-likely probability assignment seem appropriate? Why or why not?

Good Luck!
