6.(viii) Two dice are thrown. The events A, B and C are as follows:
A: getting an even number on the first die.
B: getting an odd number on the first die.
C: getting the sum of the numbers on the dice
Describe the events
(viii)
Sample space when two dice are thrown:
S = {(x,y): 1 x,y 6}
A: getting an even number on the first die = {(a,b): a {2,4,6} and 1 b 6}
= {(2, 1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}
B: getting an odd number on the first die = {(a,b): a {1,3,5} and 1 b 6}
= {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)}
C: getting the sum of the numbers on the dice 5
The possible sum are 2,3,4,5
C = {(a,b): 2 a + b 5} = {(1, 1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (4,1)}
(viii) A B' C' = A A C' (from (ii))
= A C' = A - C = {(2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}
