Consider the experiment of selecting a playing card from a deck of 52 playing cards. Each card corresponds to a sample point with a probability.

(a) List the sample points in the event an ace is selected.

(b) List the sample points in the event a club is selected.

(c) List the sample points in the event a face card (jack, queen, or king) is selected.

(d) Find the probabilities associated with each of the events in parts (a), (b) and (c).
