Section 2.3. Events 27 Green die i Rete eerassrsaes FIGURE 2.1: Rolling a total of 7 with a pair of dice. constitute event M that the person will miss the target three times in a row, and the elements of event N that the person will hit the target once and it twice. Solution \f we let 0 and 1 represent a miss and a hit, respectively, the eight possibilities (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1), (, 1, 0), (, 0, 1), (0,1, 1), and (1,1, 1) may be displayed as in Figure 2.2. Thus, it can be seen that M=((0,0,0} and : N ={,0,0), (0,1, 0), (0,0, 1)} . EXAMPLE 2.6 Construct a sample space for the length of the useful life of a certain electronic component and indicate the subset that represents the event F that the component fails before the end of the sixth year. Solution \it is the length of the component's useful life in years, the sample space may be written S = (r\r 2 0}, and the subset F = (1\0
