To construct sample spaces for experiments in which we deal with non-numerical data, we often code the various alternatives by assigning them numbers. For instance, if an engineer is asked to rate the perfor- mance of a new machine with respect to its replace- ment as poor, not satisfactory, no change, satisfactory, or excellent, we might assign these alternatives the codes, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. If P = {1, 2}, Q = {4, 5}, R = {2, 3}, and S = {3, 4, 5}, express each of the fol- lowing symbolically by listing its elements and also in words. %3D
