39. A family wants to have two children. The children can either be male or female. What is the
sample space for this experiment? (The order in which the couple has children does matter to
the parents.)
40. Let the sample space S of a random experiment be the numbers 1 through 10. So, S =
{1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10}. Define events A, B, and C as follows.
A:
{1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9}
B: { 2,4,5,7,9 }
{1,2,3,4,5}
C:
(a) What outcomes are in the event AN B?
(b) What outcomes are in the event BUC?
(c) What outcomes are in the event C'?
(d) Are the events An B and BnA the same? Why?
(e) Are the events BUC and CUB the same? Why?
41. A survey of 100 male students and 100 female students regarding their favorite Mexican food
restaurant yielded the results given below.
