Let us suppose we have population data where the data are distributed Poisson
(see the figure for an example of a Poisson random variable). 
Which distribution increasingly approximates the sample mean as the sample size increases to infinity?
When rolling a 6 sided dice, what is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 4?

Assume there is an election involving three parties: D, R, and I. The probability of D winning is .11, R winning is .78, and I winning is .11. What is the probability of D or R winning?
Students collected 150 cans for a food drive. There were 23 cans of corn, 48 cans of beans, and 12 cans of tomato sauce. If a student randomly selects one can to give away, what is the probability that the can will be either tomato sauce or beans?
