(a)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The only natural number in the given set is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The set
Hence, the only natural number in the given set is
(b)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The elements of the set that are whole numbers are 0 and
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The whole numbers consist of the set of natural number and 0. The set
Hence, the elements of the set that are whole numbers are 0 and
(c)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The integers in the given set are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The whole numbers, their negative and zeros make up the set of integers. The set
Hence the integers in the given set are
(d)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The rational number in the given set are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
All the numbers that can be written as the quotient of two integers are rational numbers. The rational numbers are
Hence the rational number in the given set are
(e)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
The elements of the set that are called irrational numbers are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The number which are not rational are called irrational numbers. In other words, numbers which cannot be written as a quotient of two integers are called irrational numbers.
Hence the elements of the set that are called irrational numbers are
(f)

Answer to Problem 1T
Solution:
All the numbers in the set which is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The set of numbers is
Explanation:
Consider the set of numbers
The union of the sets of rational and irrational numbers are called real numbers.
Hence all the numbers in the set which is

- Problem #3 If a card is picked at random from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability of getting a black card or a queen?arrow_forwardProblem #1 In the 2010 census, it was reported that the United States had a population of 310 million people. Of those, 74 million were under the age of 18. If you chose a person from the U.S. population at random, what is the probability they are under the age of 18? Problem #2 Given a set S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, if you were choosing a number at random what is the probability that you would choose an even number or a number larger than 7?arrow_forwardAnswer number twoarrow_forward

Bayesian Inference – Updating Beliefs A medical test for a rare disease has the following characteristics: Sensitivity (true positive rate): 99% Specificity (true negative rate): 98% The disease occurs in 0.5% of the population. A patient receives a positive test result. Questions: a) Define the relevant events and use Bayes’ Theorem to compute the probability that the patient actually has the disease.b) Explain why the result might seem counterintuitive, despite the high sensitivity and specificity.c) Discuss how prior probabilities influence posterior beliefs in Bayesian inference.d) Suppose a second, independent test with the same accuracy is conducted and is also positive. Update the probability that the patient has the disease.arrow_forward
