Suppose that an experiment has five possible outcomes, which are denoted {1,2,3,4,5}. Let A be the event {1,3,4} and let B be the event {2,4,5}. (Notice that we did not say that the five outcomes are equally likely: the probability distributions could be anything.) For each of the following relations, tell whether it could possibly hold. If it could, give a numerical example using a probability distribution of your own choice: if it could not, explain why not (what rule is violated) a. P(A) = P(B)
b. P(A) = 2P(B)
c. P(A) = 1 - P(B)
d. P(A) + P(B) > 1
e. P(A) - P(B) < 0
f. P(A) - P(B) > 1
