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).
