Refer to question 6 above, state true of false: (give reason for your answer)
(i) A and B are mutually exclusive
(ii) A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
(iii) A= B'
(iv) A and C are mutually exclusive
(v) A and B' are mutually exclusive
(vi) A', B', C are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
Solution:
When two dice are thrown, the sample space is given by
S = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} }
Hence,
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
S = (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
Accordingly,
{(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
A = (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
B = (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 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 1)
(2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1)}
(i) It is observed that A ∩ B = Φ
Therefore, A and B are mutually exclusive.
Thus, the given statement is true.
(ii) It is observed that A ∩ B = Φ and A υ B = S
Therefore, A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
Thus, the given statement is true.
(iii) It is observed that
{(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
A = (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
and
{(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
B' = S - B = (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
So A = B'.
Thus, the given statement is true.
(iv) It is observed that
A ∩ C = {(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (4, 1)} ≠ Φ
Therefore, A and C are not mutually exclusive.
Thus, the given statement is false.
(v) It is observed that A ∩ B' = A ∩ A = A
Therefore, A ∩ B' ≠ Φ; A and B' are not mutually exclusive.
Thus, the given statement is false.
(vi) It is observed that A' υ B' υ C = S
However,
B' ∩ C = {(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (4, 1)} ≠ Φ
Therefore, events A', B', and C are not mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
Thus, the given statement is false
