HSS.CP.A.1: Describe events as subsets of a sample space (the set of outcomes) using characteristics (or categories) of the outcomes, or as unions, intersections, or complements of other events ("or," "and," "not").

What you'll learn

  1. Define the sample space as the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment and identify an event as a subset of that sample space
  2. Describe an event both by a characteristic or category of its outcomes ("an even number") and by listing its outcomes in roster/set notation ({2, 4, 6})
  3. Form and interpret the union (A or B), intersection (A and B), and complement (not A) of events, translating fluently between set notation and everyday "or / and / not" language
  4. Represent events and their combinations using Venn diagrams and roster lists
  5. Translate everyday descriptions of events into formal set-operation expressions and back
