Question1

Suppose two dice are tossed and the numbers on the upper faces are observed. Let S denote the set of all possible pairs that can be observed. Define the following subsets of S.A: the number on the second die is even.B: the sum of the two numbers is even.C: at least one number in the pair is odd.

List the elements in A,CC,A∩B ,A∩BC,AC B, and ∪AC∩C.

Question2

Suppose a family contains two children of different ages, and we are interested in the sex of these children. Let F denote that a child is female and M that the child is male, and let a pair such as FM denote that the older child is female and the younger male. There are four elements in the set S of possible observation.

S= { FF ,FM,MF,MM}

Let A denote the subset of possibilities containing no males, B the subset containing two males, and C the subset containing at least one male. List the elements of A , B ,C ,A ∩ B ,A B ,∪

A ∩ C ,A C ∪ ,B ∩ C and C ∩ BC

A total of 36 members of club play tennis, 28 play squash, and 18 play badminton. Furthermore, 22 of the members play tennis and squash, 12 play both tennis and badminton, 9 play both squash and badminton, and 4 play all three sport. How many members of this club play at least one of these sports.

Answer3N(T)=36

N(S)=28

N(b)=18

N(T ∩ S)= 22

N(S ∩B)=9

N(T ∩S ∩B)=4

N(T ∩B)=12

N(T ∩S ∩B)=N(T)+N(S)+N(B)-N(T ∩S)-N(T ∩B)-

If all the boys interviewed linked at least one item, draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the results. How many boys both ice cream and cakes?

Answer4N(S)=100,

N(SW)=78,

N(I)=74,

N( C) =53,

N(SW ∩I)=57,
