Circle True (T) or False (F) for each of the following statements:
T F {H, T} represents the sample space for an experiment of flipping two coins, each with heads (H) on one side and tails (T) on the other.
T F 13/12 represents a possible value of a probability.
T F Suppose that the probability of event A occurring is 1/5 and the probability of event B occurring is 3/7. If events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that A and B occur together is 0.
T F If a researcher samples without replacement, then future probabilities of the sampling process are unaffected by prior probabilities.
