What swimmer probabilities and groupings are given in this example?
Stephen Davies, Ph.D. Version 2.2.2 Through Discrete Mathematics A Cool Brisk Walk / Chapter 1
"ities of our four swimmers Ben, Chad, Grover, and Tim each win- ning the heat at .1, .2, .4, and .3, respectively.\n\n4.7. INDEPENDENCE 81 Now suppose Ben, Chad, and Grover are UMW athletes, Tim is from Marymount, Ben and Tim are juniors, and Chad and Grover are sophomores. We’ll define U ={Ben,Chad,Grover}, M ={Tim}, J ={Ben,Tim}, and S ={Chad,Grover}."
