---
These are independent events because the sample space for each share no
common elements.

(a) P(A head and a red card)=P(head)*P(red) = 1/2*1 = 1/2
---------------------------
(b) P(A tail and an ace) = P(tail)*P(ace) = 1/2 * 1/13 = 1/26
---------------------------
(c) P(A head and a picture card)= P(head)*P(picture) = 1/2 * 3/13 = 3/26
---------------------------
(d) P(A tail and a card bearing a number divisible by 3) = (1/2)*3/13=3/26
---------------------------
(e) P(A head and a queen of heart) = P(head)*P(queen) = 1/2*1/13 = 1/26
---------------------------
