Illustrating

Event, Union
and
intersection of
events.
 -Set
-are the collection of items and using the
bracket
{}
-it may contains numbers days of the week or
name of friends

Examples
{1,2,3,4}
{M, I, K, A, E,L}
-Elements
The items contained within a set satisfies the
criteria

2
Event- A subset of a sample space
A specific or collection of
outcomes
Simpleevents-Any event which consist of
a Single outcome in the sample
spacespace
Compound events-Event which consist of
more than one outcome
“ Union-the blending of both
sets indicates "or“)
Special symbols:U
Intersection -when the two
set over lap indicates
"and")
Special symbols:

Union of events
-an event is something that has happened and is
always associated with an experiment

-consists of elements belonging

to event A, event B or both A and B

-this is written as A or B
AUB

5
 Intersection of Events
-events are occurring together
-even if one event holds false all will be false
-consists of all elements in events A and B at
the same time

-this is written as A and B

A B
