A number cube with faces labeled 1 to 6 is rolled once. The number rolled will be recorded as the outcome. Consider the following events:

Event [tex]$A$[/tex]: The number rolled is less than 5.
Event [tex]$B$[/tex]: The number rolled is odd.

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 "[tex]$A$[/tex] or [tex]$B$[/tex]": [tex]$\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$[/tex]

(b) Event "[tex]$A$[/tex] and [tex]$B$[/tex]": [tex]$\{1, 3\}$[/tex]

(c) The complement of the event [tex]$B$[/tex]: [tex]$\{2, 4, 6\}$[/tex]



Answer :

Let's consider the given events:

Event [tex]\(A\)[/tex]: The number rolled is less than 5.
Event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]: The number rolled is odd.

Based on these events, we can determine the outcomes for each question:

(a) Event "[tex]$A$[/tex] or [tex]$B$[/tex]":

This event includes all outcomes that are either in event [tex]\(A\)[/tex] or in event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]. We need to find the union of events [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex].

Event [tex]\(A\)[/tex] (numbers less than 5) consists of: [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)[/tex].
Event [tex]\(B\)[/tex] (odd numbers) consists of: [tex]\(\{1, 3, 5\}\)[/tex].

The union of [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\} \][/tex]

(b) Event "[tex]$A$[/tex] and [tex]$B$[/tex]":

This event includes all outcomes that are in both event [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]. We need to find the intersection of events [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex].

From above, we have:
Event [tex]\(A\)[/tex] (numbers less than 5): [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)[/tex].
Event [tex]\(B\)[/tex] (odd numbers): [tex]\(\{1, 3, 5\}\)[/tex].

The intersection of [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ A \cap B = \{1, 3\} \][/tex]

(c) The complement of event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]:

This event includes all outcomes that are not in event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]. We need to find the complement of event [tex]\(B\)[/tex].

From above, event [tex]\(B\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\{1, 3, 5\}\)[/tex].
The set of all possible outcomes when rolling a number cube labeled 1 to 6 is: [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\)[/tex].

The complement of event [tex]\(B\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ B^C = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \} \setminus \{1, 3, 5\} = \{2, 4, 6\} \][/tex]

So, summarizing the answers:

(a) Event "[tex]$A$[/tex] or [tex]$B$[/tex]": [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}\)[/tex]

(b) Event "[tex]$A$[/tex] and [tex]$B$[/tex]": [tex]\(\{1, 3\}\)[/tex]

(c) The complement of the event [tex]\(B\)[/tex]: [tex]\(\{2, 4, 6\}\)[/tex]
