A die is thrown. Describe the following events:
(i) \(A: a\) number less than \(7\)
(ii) \(B: a\) number greater than \(7\)
(iii) \(C: a\) multiple of \(3\)
(iv) \(D: a\) number less than \(4\)
(v) \(E: a\) even number greater than \(4\)
(vi) \(F: a\) number not less than \(\)\(3\)
Also, find \(A∪B, A∩B, B∪C, E∩F, D∩E, A-C, D-E, E∩F', F'\)
Sample Space:
When a die is thrown,
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Description of Events:
A: A number less than 7
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
B: A number greater than 7
B = ∅
C: A multiple of 3
C = {3, 6}
D: A number less than 4
D = {1, 2, 3}
E: An even number greater than 4
E = {6}
F: A number not less than 3
F = {3, 4, 5, 6}
Required Set Operations:
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
A ∩ B = ∅
B ∪ C = {3, 6}
E ∩ F = {6}
D ∩ E = ∅
A − C = {1, 2, 4, 5}
D − E = {1, 2, 3}
F' = S − F = {1, 2}
E ∩ F' = ∅
Final Answer:
All events and required set operations have been described using the sample space of the die.
Two dice are thrown. The events A, B and C are as follows:
A: getting an even number on the first die.
B: getting an odd number on the first die.
C: getting the sum of the numbers on the dice ≤5.
State true or false: (give reason for your answer)
(i) A and B are mutually exclusive
(ii)A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
(iii) A=B′
(iv)A and C are mutually exclusive
(v)A and B′ are mutually exclusive.
(vi) A′,B′,C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
