**Exercise: Events with Two Dice**

Suppose two dice (one red, one green) are rolled. Consider the following events:
- **A:** The red die shows 5.
- **B:** The numbers add to 6.
- **C:** At least one of the numbers is 1.
- **D:** The numbers do not add to 9.

**Task:** Express the given event in symbolic form.

**Given Statement:**  
Either the numbers add to 6, or they add to 9, or at least one of them is 1.

**Symbolic Options:**

- ( ) \( B \cap D' \cup C \)
- ( ) \( B' \cup D' \cup C \)
- ( ) \( B \cup D' \cup C \)
- ( ) \( B \cup D' \cup C' \)
- ( ) \( B \cup D' \cap C \)

**Question:**  
How many elements does it contain?

[Answer Box: _______]

--- 

This exercise helps in understanding how to express and evaluate events in probability using symbolic logic.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The sample S here is the set of all ordered pair (R, G)

Where R=Red die and G=green die.

Therefore, n(S)=36

 Given are the following events-

A: - The red die shows 5

B: - The numbers add to 6

C: - At least one of the numbers is 1

D: - The number do not add to 9
