Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Topic 5: Probability
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?
