Each object in a set is called an element or a member of a set. One method of describing a set is called the roster method, in which elements are listed between braces, with commas between the elements. The order in which we list elements isn’t important:
Often, we will name sets by using a capital letter. We might name the set of objects in the left circle in the diagram in Question 2 using the letter A.
Use the roster method to list the elements of the left circle:

Does this auto- matically mean a huge problem exists that needs to be addressed?arrow_forward1 M&Ms colors come in the following percent- ages: 13 percent brown, 14 percent yellow, 13 percent red, 24 percent blue, 20 percent orange, and 16 percent green. Reach into a bag of M&Ms without looking. a. What's the chance that you pull out a brown or yellow M&M? b. What's the chance that you won't pull out a blue? swarrow_forward11.

(b) Translate the result to a statement about characteristic functions. (c) Which well-known trigonometric formula did you discover?arrow_forward9. The concentration function of a random variable X is defined as Qx(h) = sup P(x ≤ X ≤x+h), h>0. x (a) Show that Qx+b (h) = Qx(h). (b) Is it true that Qx(ah) =aQx(h)? (c) Show that, if X and Y are independent random variables, then Qx+y (h) min{Qx(h). Qy (h)). To put the concept in perspective, if X1, X2, X, are independent, identically distributed random variables, and S₁ = Z=1Xk, then there exists an absolute constant, A, such that A Qs, (h) ≤ √n Some references: [79, 80, 162, 222], and [204], Sect. 1.5.arrow_forward29 Suppose that a mound-shaped data set has a must mean of 10 and standard deviation of 2. a.
