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.
An experiment involves rolling a pair of dice and recording the numbers that come up. Describe the following events: \(A:\) the sum is greater than \(8\), \(B:\)\(2\) occurs on either die \(C:\)The sum is at least \(7\), and a multiple of \(3\). Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?
Three coins are tossed once. Let \(A\) denote the event ‘three heads show”, \(B\) denote the event “two heads and one tail show”, \(C\) denote the event” three tails show and \(D\) denotes the event a head shows on the first coin”. Which events are (I) mutually exclusive? (ii) simple? (iii) Compound?
