Problem # 3.

05:
 1-Very Easy
 2-Easy
 3-Average
 4-Difficult
 5-Very Difficult

a) AUB:
𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = {3,4} ∪ {2,3}
𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = {2,3,4}
This is the event that work on the car is easy, average, or difficult.
b) 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵
𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {3,4} ∩ {2,3}
𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {3}
This is the event that work on the car is average.
c) 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵

𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = {3,4} ∪ {1,4,5}

𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = {1,3,4,5}
This is the event that work on the car is easy, average, difficult, and very difficult.
d)

= {1,2,3,4,5} − {4,5}
= {1,2,3}
This is the event that work on the car is very easy, easy and average.
Problem # 3.07:
𝑆 = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3)}
a) Sample Space:

b)
𝐵 = {(1,3), (2,3)}
B is the event that three graduate assistants are present for the supervision of a physics lab.
𝐶 = {(1,1), (2,2)}
C is the event that as many professors as graduate assistance are present for the supervision of a physics
lab.
𝐷 = {(1,2), (2,1)}
B is the event that between of them, three professors or graduate assistants are present for the supervision
of a physics lab.
c) The event CUD contains all the elements that are in C, in D or in both is given below:
𝐶 ∪ 𝐷 = {(1,1), (2,2)} ∪ {(1,2), (2,1)}
= {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2)}
 d) The event B and D contains all the elements that are in both B and D is given below:

𝐵 ∩ 𝐷 = {(1,3), (2,3)} ∩ {(1,2), (2,1)}

=∅
Therefore, we conclude that the pair of event B and D is mutually exclusive.

Problem # 3.13:

𝐴∩𝐵 =𝐴∪𝐵

From the above left side diagram, we observe that the shaded area shown the complement of the
intersection of the two sets. It is equal to the right side of the Venn diagram.
𝐴 ∪ (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝐴

From the above left side Venn diagram we observe that the intersection of vertical and horizontal lines
shows the region 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 and the union of the event A equals to the right side of the Venn diagram.
 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝐴

From the above left side Venn diagram, the yellow color region shows the event 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 and the light green
color region shows the event 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵. The union of these two regions is equal to the right side of the Venn
diagram.

𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)

From the left side of the Venn diagram, we observe that the light green color region shows the event 𝐴 ∪
𝐵 which is equal to the right side of the Venn diagram.
 𝐴 ∪ (𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) = (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∩ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐶)

From the above left side of the Venn diagram, we observe that the light green color region shows the
event 𝐴 ∪ (𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) which is equal to the right side of the Venn diagram.
