Write the sample space (S) and events for each experiment:

UNION AND INTERSECTION
OF EVENTS
Recall:
EXPERIMENT SAMPLE SPACE (S) EVENTS (E)
Tossing a coin The event that a head will occur.
S = {H, T}
E = {H}
Rolling a die The event that an even number
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
appears.
E = {2, 4, 6}
Rolling a die and The event that an even number
tossing a coin.
S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, will come out.
5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, E = {2H, 4H, 6H, 2T, 4T, 6T}
5T, 6T} The event that a tail and an odd
number will come out.
E = {1T, 3T, 5T}
Describe the relationship between sample space
and event.
EXPERIMENT SAMPLE SPACE (S) EVENTS (E)
Tossing a coin The event that a head will occur.
S = {H, T}
E = {H}
Rolling a die The event that an even number
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
appears.
E = {2, 4, 6}
Rolling a die and The event that an even number
tossing a coin.
S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, will come out.
5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, E = {2H, 4H, 6H, 2T, 4T, 6T}
5T, 6T} The event that a tail and an odd
number will come out.
E = {1T, 3T, 5T}
Since events are subsets of the
sample space of an experiment,
union and intersection of events
will also be considered.
1. Given events A and B, the union of the two events A and B is the
event A ∪ B reas as “A union B”. It is set of outcomes of A and/or B.
2. Given events A and B, the intersection the two events A and B is the
event A ∩ B read as “A intersection B”. It is a set of outcomes of A
and B.

A = { W, X, Y} and B = {X, Y, Z},
