When a patrolwoman monitors the speed of traffic using a radar gun, she may take any one of three possible actions for each car. She can let the car continue without stopping. She can stop the car and either issue a warning or issue a ticket. An experiment consists of observing the action of a patrolman after she records the speed of a car using the radar gun.


Required:

a. List the outcomes in the sample space.

b. List all possible events.

c. If she issues a warning to the driver of a car, which event(s) in part (b) has (have) occurred.

d. Attach probabilities to the outcomes in the sample space if the probability of the patrolman issuing a ticket is twice that of issuing a warning and a third of that of allowing the car to continue on.
