Activities such as rolling a die,

EXPERIMENT
cards which could be repeated
over and over again and which
well-defined results
The results of an
OUTCOME Experiment
S
The set of all SAMPLE
outcomes in an SPACE
experiment
We denoted sample space by a capital letter S.
S = { 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 }
EVENT is a subset of a sample space for an experiment.
In symbol, E ⊂ S (Event E is a subset of sample space S)

EXAMPLE 1:
For each of the following experiments, identify the appropiate sample
space.
a. Tossing a coin once
b. Tossing a coin twice
c. Drawing a number 1 to 7
d. Throwing a fair die
ANSWERS:
a. { H , T }
HEAD
COIN
TAIL
b. { HH , HT , TT , TH } HEAD

c. { 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 }
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
d. { 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 }
EXAMPLE 2:
In the experiment of drawing a number from 1 to 12, the sample space is
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 11, 12 }
What is the event that the number drawn is
a. an odd number?
b. an even number?
c. a prime number?
d. a composite number?
SOLUTIONS:
a. The event of drawing an odd number is the subset
3
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 11, 12 } { 1 , 3 ,5 , 7 , 9 , 11}
b. The event of drawing an even number is the subset
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 11, 12 } { 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 ,12 }
c. The event of drawing a prime number is the subset
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 11, 12 } {2 , 3 , 5 ,7 , 11 }
iii
d. The event of drawing a composite number is the subset
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 11, 12 } { 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 ,10 , 12 }

CLASSIFICATION OF EVENTS
{ 1 , 2, 3 , 4 ,5 , 6 }
In rolling a die, S =
and the event E is a set of odd numbers
E = { 1 , 3 ,5 }
Suppose that we have two more events A & B,
event A is a set of number/s greater than 5
A = {6 }
and the event B is a set number/s divisible by 3
B = {3 , 6}
SIMPLE An event is simple if there is
only one outcome.
EVENTS
Example:
4 A = {6 }
An event is compound if it
has more than one outcome.
COMPOUND
EVENTS Example:
B = {3 , 6}
E = { 1 , 3 ,5 }
UNION AND INTERSECTION OF TWO EVENTS
THE UNION OF TWO EVENTS
The Union of two sets, denoted A ∪ B (“A union B”), is the set of all members
contained in either A or B or both. We can thick of the union of two sets as the
entire Venn diagram:
A B
The union of two events E and F
is the event E ∪ F
Example: E = { 1 , 3 ,5 } and
F = { 4 , 5 ,6 }
E ∪ F = { 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 }
THE INTERSECTION OF TWO EVENTS
The Intersection of two sets, denoted A ∩ B (“A intersect B”), is the set of all
members contained in both A and B. We can thick of the intersection of two sets
as the overlap in the Venn diagram:
A B
5
The intersection of two events E
and F is the event E ∩ F
Example: E = { 1 , 3 ,5 } and
F = { 4 , 5 ,6 }
E ∩ F = {5}
EXAMPLE 3:
Consider that we have the following events.
A = { 2 , 3 ,6 } C = { 1 , 3 ,6 , 8 }
B = {2 , 4 } D = { 1 , 3 ,5 , 7 }
1. A ∪ B 4. A ∪ C
2. A ∩ C 5. B ∩ C
3. C ∩ D
SOLUTION:
1. A ∪ B = { 2 , 3 ,6 } ∪ {2 , 4 }
= {2 , 3 , 4 , 6}
2. A ∩ C = { 2 , 3 ,6 } ∩ { 1 , 3 ,6 , 8 }
= {3 , 6}
3. C ∩ D = { 1 , 3 ,6 , 8 } ∩ { 1 , 3 ,5 , 7 }
= {1 , 3}
4. A ∪ C = { 2 , 3 ,6 } ∪ { 1 , 3 ,6 , 8 }
= { 1 , 2, 3 , 6 , 8 }
5. B ∩ C = { 2 , 4 } ∩ { 1 , 3 ,6 , 8 }
= { ∅ } or empty set
