A university library has five copies of a certain text in reserve. Two copies (1 and 2) are first impressions and the other three (3, 4 and 5) are second impressions. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when a second printing has been selected. For example, one possible result is (5) and another (2,1,3). a) List all the possible outcomes that are in S, the sample space. b) Let A be the event that exactly one book is to be examined. What outcomes are in A? c) Let B be the event that book 5 is selected. What outcomes are in B? d) Let C be the event
