Transcript text: A marble is selected from a bag containing eight marbles numbered 1 to 8 .
The number on the marble selected will be recorded as the outcome.
Consider the following events.
Event $A$ : The marble selected has an even number.
Event $B$ : The marble selected has a number from 3 to 6 .
Give the outcomes for each of the following events.
If there is more than one element in the set, separate them with commas.
(a) Event " $A$ or $B$ ": $\square$
(b) Event " $A$ and $B$ ": $\square$
(c) The complement of the event $B$ : $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify elements that satisfy both A and B (Intersection)
Given the conditions for A: x % 2 == 0 and B: 3 <= x <= 6,
the outcomes that satisfy both A and B simultaneously are: ${4, 6}$.
Step 2: Identify elements that satisfy either A or B (Union)
Given the conditions for A: x % 2 == 0 and B: 3 <= x <= 6,
the outcomes that satisfy either A or B (or both) are: ${2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}$.
Step 3: Identify elements that do not satisfy the condition for A (Complement of A)
Given the condition for A: x % 2 == 0,
the outcomes that do not satisfy event A are: ${1, 3, 5, 7}$.
