    This document provides examples of determining sample spaces, events, and probabilities from scenarios involving random selection. It includes 9 problems: 1) defining sample spaces and events with set notation for various scenarios involving selecting letters, numbers, objects; 2) calculating probabilities of selecting specific letters and objects; 3) determining if events are possible or not based on the scenarios; 4) using probabilities to calculate missing values like number of objects. The problems cover fundamental concepts of probability including sample spaces, events, and calculating probabilities.

    1. Write sample space, S and event, A, of the following by using set notation. State
    the number of elements in the sample space, n(S), and event, n(A).
    a) A letter is selected at random from the word H E B A T. A is the event that a
    consonant is selected.
    S={H,E,B,A,T}
    n(S)=5
    n(A)=3

    b) A month is selected at random from a year. A is the events that a month starts from
