Rolling a fair die experiment

37 Views Asked by At

A fair die is rolled. The events $E_1, \dots, E_5$ are defined as follows:

$E_1$: an even number is obtained;

$E_2$: an odd number is obtained;

$E_3$: a score of less than 2 is obtained; note: is score a key word hinting tossing the die twice?

$E_4$: a 3 is obtained;

$E_5$: a score of more than 3 is obtained;

Find: $P(E_1 \cap E_3)$, and also $P(E_3 \cap E_5)$

The Book's solutions (which I do not understand) is:

$P(E_1 \cap E_3)=0$ likelihood,

$P(E_3 \cap E_5)= 0$ likelihood.

How come? And thanks.
