Question

From the experiment in Example 8 (attached picture). In addition to Event A,
consider the event B that a side with even-numbered dots
appears, event C that a side with at least 5 dots occurs, and
event D that a side with utmost 4 dots occurs.
a. List the outcomes of events B, C, and D;
b. Compute the cardinality of the sets corresponding
to the events in item (a);
c. Compute the probability of the events in item (a).

Example 8:
Consider the experiment of tossing a 6-sided die
once. What is the probability of the event that the side
with at least 3 dots occurred?
Let us first determine the sample space S and the
event A whose elements the sides with at least 3 dots
on it.
S = {1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots, 4 dots, 5 dots, 6 dots}
A = {odd – numbered side occurs}
= {3 dots, 4 dots,5 dots, 6 dots}
Since IS| = 6 and |A| = 4, then the probability of
event A is
|A|
P(A) =
İŞİ
