Exercises: Describe Events as Subsets of a Sample Space

Work through each section in order. List events as rosters using set notation, e.g. {2, 4, 6}. For explanation problems, write in complete sentences. Remember: an event is a SET of outcomes, not a number, and "or" is inclusive (it includes outcomes in both events).

Fluency Practice

List each event as a roster. Use the given sample space.

On a die, $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ and $A = $ "even" $= \{2, 4, 6\}$ . List the complement "not $A$ ."

$\{1, 3, 5\}$

$\{1\}$ , the smallest odd number

$\{2, 4, 6\}$ , the same as $A$

$\{4, 6\}$
