Chapter 12.8, Problem 4P

To determine

To give the example of compound event.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The compound event should be composed of overlapping events.

Calculation:

Let us define the compound event and the overlapping events as follows-

Compound event: If an event consist two or more events, they are combined with the word and or the word or,

Overlapping events: In the two or more events, if at least one event is common in each events.

The example of compound event, composed of two overlapping events when you spin a spinner with integers from $1$ to $28$ is.

The spinning numbers on spinner which is multiple of both $2$ and $3$ .

The number which is multiple of both $2$ and $3$ is $6$ , which comes when spinner is spinning and lies between the integers $1$ to 8.
