Lesson 3: Probability of Union and Intersection of Two

Events

Probability of Two Sets

 Intersection of Two Sets – is the containing the outcome common to both events
 Union of Two Sets – in the set containing all the outcomes of the two events

Activity 3
Instructions: Determine the union and intersection of events involving simple experiments.

Sample: A dice is tossed. Let A be the event that an odd number turns up and let B be the
event that a number greater than B be the event that a number greater than 3 turns
up. Find A ∪ B and A ∩ B . Draw a Venn Diagram to illustrate A ∪B and A ∩ B.

Solution: S= { 1, 2 ,3 , 4 , 5 ,6 } A B
A={ 1, 3 , 5 } 1 4 A ∪ B= {1 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 }

B= { 4 , 5 , 6 } 3 6 A ∩ B={5}

EVENTS A ∪B A∩B
1. A card is drawn from standard decks of 52 cards.

number comes out.
3. A 1 – peso coin is tossed. A is the event that the coin
falls head and B is the event that the coin falls tail.
