  14. I think that Card A and Card C should be turned over. This will test the hypothesis because they are the cards with a vowel and an even number.

  15. All 4 Cards need to be turned over to see if there is an even number behind E, and odd behind G, a vowel being 2, and a consonant behind 3.

  39. A and D. Those are the only cards with which to falsify the hypothesis. If A (E) has an even number and D (3) a consonant, the hypothesis stands. Cards B and C prove nothing either way – at most they confirm a bias.
