1 Chapter 7 SETS AND PROBABILITY 7. Sets Your Turn There are three states whose names begin with O, Ohio and Oklahoma. Thus { x x is a state that begins with the letter O} {Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon}. Your Turn {, 4, 6} Í {6,, 4} is true because each element of the first set is an element of the second set. (In this example the sets are in fact equal.) Your Turn 3 A set of k distinct elements has k subsets, so since there are four seasons, { x x is a season of the year} 4 has 6 subsets. Your Turn 4 U {0,,,...,0} A {3, 6,9} B {, 4, 6,8} Then A {0,,,4,5,7,8,0}. The elements common to A and B are,4, and 8. Thus A Ç B {, 4,8}. Your Turn 5 U {0,,,...,} A {,3,5,7,9,} B {3, 6,9,} C {,, 3, 4, 5} To find A È ( B Ç C ) begin with the expression in parentheses and find C, which includes all the elements of the universal set that are not in C. C {6,7,8,9,0,,} The elements in C that are also in B are 6, 9, and, so B Ç C {6, 9,}. Now we list the elements of A and include any elements of B Ç C that are not already listed: A È ( B Ç C ) {,3,5,6,7,9,,} 7. Exercises. 3 Î {,5, 7,9,0} The number 3 is not an element of the set, so the statement is false.. 6 Î {-, 6,9,5} Since 6 is an element of the given set, the statement is true Ï {,,5,8} Since 9 is not an element of the set, the statement is true Ï {7,6,5,4} Since 3 is not an element of the given set, the statement is true. 5. {,5,8,9} {,5,9,8} The sets contain exactly the same elements, so they are equal. The statement is true. 6. {3,7,,4} {3,7,,4,0} Two sets are equal only if they contain exactly the same elements. Since 0 is an element of the second set but not the first, the statement is false. 7. {All whole numbers greater than 7 and less than 0} {8,9} Since 8 and 9 are the only such numbers, the statement is true. 8. { x x is an odd integer, 6 x 8} {7,9,,5,7} The number 3 should be included in the set so the statement is false Î 0/ The empty set has no elements. The statement is false. 0. / 0 Î {/ 0} Since {0} / has 0/ as a member, this statement is true. Copyright 0 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley. 385

2 386 Chapter 7 SETS AND PROBABILITY In Exercises, and A {, 4, 6,8,0,}, B {, 4,8,0}, C {4,8,}, D {,0}, E {6}, U {,4,6,8,0,,4}.. Since every element of A is also an element of U, A is a subset of U, written A Í U.. Since every element of E is also an element of A, E is a subset of A, written E Í A. 3. A contains elements that do not belong to E, namely, 4, 8, 0, and, so A is not a subset of E, written A Í E. 4. Since 0 is an element of B but is not an element of C, B is not a subset of C, written B Í C. 5. The empty set is a subset of every set, so / 0 Í A. 6. Since 0 is an element of {0, }, but is not an element of D, {0, } Í D. 7. Every element of D is also an element of B, so D is a subset of B, D Í B. 8. Since, 6, and 0 are elements of A, but are not elements of C, A Í C. 9. Since every element of A is also an element of U, and A ¹ U, A Ì U. Since every element of E is also an element of A, and E ¹ A, E Ì A. Since every element of A is not also an element of E, A Ë E. Since every element of B is not also an element of C, B Ë C. Since 0 is a subset of every set, and 0 ¹ A, 0 Ì A. Since every element of {0, } is not also an element of D, {0, } Ë D. Since every element of D is not also an element of B, and D ¹ B, D Ì B. Since every element of A is not also an element of C, A Ë C. 4. Since B has 4 elements, it has or 6 subsets. There are exactly 6 subsets of B. 3. A set with n distinct elements has n subsets, and C has n 3 elements. Therefore, there 3 are exactly 8 subsets of C. 4. Since D has elements, it has or 4 subsets. There are exactly 4 subsets of D. 5. Since {7,9} is the set of elements belonging to both sets, which is the intersection of the two sets, we write {5,7,9,9} Ç {7,9,,5} {7,9}. 6. {8,,5} Ç {8,,9,0} {8,} {8,} is the set of all elements belonging to both of the first two sets, so it is the intersection of those sets. 7. Since {,,5,7,9} is the set of elements belonging to one or the other (or both) of the listed sets, it is their union. {,,7} È {,5,9} {,,5,7,9} 8. Since {6,,4,6,9} is the set of elements belonging to one or the other (or both) of the listed sets, it is their union. {6,,4,6} È {6,4,9} {6,,4,6,9} 9. Since 0/ contains no elements, there are no elements belonging to both sets. Thus, the intersection is the empty set, and we write {3,5,9,0} Ç / 0 / {3,5,9,0} È / 0 {3,5,9,0} The empty set contains no elements, so the union of any set with the empty set will result in an answer set that is identical to the original set. (On the other hand, {3,5,9,0} Ç / 0 / 0.) 3. {,,4} is the set of elements belonging to both sets, and {,,4} is also the set of elements in the first set or in the second set or possibly both. Thus, {,,4} Ç {,,4} {,,4} and {,,4} È {,,4} {,,4} are both true statements.. A set with n distinct elements has n subsets. A has n 6 elements, so there are exactly 6 64 subsets of A.

3 Section {0,0} is the set of elements belonging to both of the two sets on the left, and it is also the set of elements belonging to one or the other of these two sets, or to both. Thus {0,0} Ç {0, 0} {0,0} and {0,0} È {0, 0} {0,0} are both true statements. In Exercises 35 44, and U {,,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, X {, 4, 6,8}, Y {,3, 4,5, 6}, Z {,,3,8,9}. 35. X Ç Y, the intersection of X and Y, is the set of elements belonging to both X and Y. Thus, X Ç Y {, 4, 6,8} Ç{,3, 4, 5, 6} {, 4, 6}. 36. X È Y, the union of X and Y, is the set of all elements belonging to X or Y or both. Thus, X È Y {,3,4,5,6,8}. 37. X, the complement of X, consists of those elements of U that are not in X. Thus, X {,3,5,7,9}. 38. Y, the complement of Y, is the set of all elements of U that do not belong to Y. Thus, Y {, 7, 8,9}. 39. From Exercise 37, X {,3,5,7,9}; from Exercise 38, Y {, 7, 8,9}. There are no elements common to both X and Y so X Ç Y {, 7, 9}. 40. X Ç Z {,3,5,7,9} Ç{,,3,8,9} {,3,9} 4. First find X È Z. X È Z {, 4, 6,8} È{,,3,8,9} {,, 3, 4,6, 8,9} Now find Y Ç ( X È Z). Y Ç ( X È Z) {,3, 4,5, 6} Ç{,,3, 4, 6,8,9} {,3, 4, 6} 4. From Exercise 37, X {,3,5,7,9}; from Exercise 38, Y {, 7, 8,9}.

M consists of all students in U who are not in M, so M consists of all students in this school not taking this course. 48. M È N is the set of all students in this school taking this course or taking accounting. 49. N Ç P is the set of all students in this school taking both accounting and zoology. 50. N Ç P is the set of all students in this school not taking accounting and not taking zoology. 5. A {, 4, 6,8,0,}, B {, 4, 8,0}, C {4,8,}, D {,0}, E {6}, U {,4,6,8,0,,4} A pair of sets is disjoint if the two sets have no elements in common. The pairs of these sets that are disjoint are B and E, C and E, D and E, and C and D. Copyright 0 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley.

U X Y {,,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} {, 4, 6,8} {,3, 4,5, 6} Z {,,3,8,9} Since each pair of sets has at least one element in common (for example, the element ), none of the pairs of sets are disjoint. 53.

A È B is the union of the complements of A and B; hence it contains any element that is either not in A or not in B. A is the set of all elements in U that are not in A. Then A Ç ( B È C) is the region where the above two diagram overlap. B is the set of all elements in U that are not in B. Next find A Ç B and A Ç C individually. Form the union of A and B.

Since nm ( Ç E) 9, there are 9-8 elements in M Ç E but not in M Ç G Ç E. Since nm ( Ç G) 7, there are 7-6 elements in M Ç G but not in M Ç G Ç E. Since ng ( Ç E) 4, there are 4-3 elements in G Ç E but not in M Ç G Ç E. Now consider nm ( ) 58. So far we have in M; there must be another in M not yet counted. Similarly, ne ( ) 63; we have counted so far. There must be 63-4 more in E not yet counted. Also, ng ( ) 58; we have counted so far. There must be more in G not yet counted. Lastly, nm ( Ç G Ç E ) indicates that there are elements outside of all three sets. 39.

16 400 Chapter 7 SETS AND PROBABILITY 40. (a) ny ( Ç R) 40 since 40 is the number in the table where the Y row and the R column meet. (b) nm ( Ç D) 30 since 30 is the number in the table where the M row and the D column meet. (c) nd ( Ç Y) 5 and nm ( ) 80 since that is the total in the M row. nm ( Ç ( DÇ Y)) 0 since no person can simultaneously have an age in the range 5 and have an age in the range By the union rule for sets, nm ( È ( DÇ Y)) nm ( ) + nd ( Ç Y) - nm ( Ç ( DÇ Y)) (d) Y Ç( D È N) consists of all people in the D column or in the N column who are at the same time not in the Y row.

Therefore, n[( M È O ) Ç B] n( B) 7. (f) Y Ç ( S È B) is the set of all bank customers who are of age 8 9 and who invest in stocks or bonds. 4. We start with the innermost region, which is the number of professors who invested in stocks and bonds and certificates of deposit (CDs). Since this is our unknown, place an x in this region. If 80 invested in stocks and bonds, then 80 - x invested in only stocks and bonds. If 83 invested in bonds and CDs, then 83 - x invested in only bonds and CDs. If 85 invested in stocks and CDs, then 85 - x invested in only stocks and CDs. If invested in stocks, then the number who invested in only stocks is: -[(80 - x) + (85 - x) + x] x If 98 invested in bonds, then the number who invested in only bonds is; 98 -[(80 - x) + (83 - x) + x] x If 00 invested in CDs, then the number who invested in only CDs is: 00 -[(85 - x) + (83 - x) + x] x There are 9 who did not invest in any of the three, so place a 9 outside all three circles. Now, the sum of all the regions is 50, so (g) M È ( D Ç Y) consists of all people age 5 who drink diet cola or anyone age (a) ny ( Ç B) since is the number in the table where the Y row and the B column meet.

(d) A person with O-positive blood has only the Rh antigen, so this number is 7. (e) A person with AB-positive blood has all three antigens, so this number is 5. (f ) A person with B-negative blood has only the B antigen, so this number is 3. (g) A person with O-negative blood has none of the antigens. There are such people.

18 40 Chapter 7 SETS AND PROBABILITY (b) nf ( Ç ( IÈ A)) is the sum of the entries in the first row in the I and A columns. Therefore, nf ( Ç ( IÈ A)) nf ( Ç I) + nf ( Ç A) 7,73. Therefore, there are 7,73 people in the set F Ç ( I È A). (c) nm ( È B) nm ( ) + nb ( ) - nm ( Ç B),0, ,97-48,60,343,3. There are,343,3 people in the set M È B. (d) W È I È A is the universe, since each person is either not white, or not American Indian, or not Asian or Pacific Islander. Thus, there are, 46,64 people in the set W' È I È A. (e) Females who are either American Indian or Pacific Islander. 47. Extend the table to include totals for each row and each column. H F Total A B C D Total (a) na ( Ç F) is the entry in the table that is in both row A and column F. Thus, there are 34 players in the set A Ç F. (b) Since all players in the set C are either in set H or set F, C Ç ( H È F) C. Thus, nc ( Ç ( H È F)) nc ( ) 6, the total for row C. There are 6 players in the set C Ç ( H È F). (c) nd ( È F) nd ( ) + nf ( ) - nd ( Ç F) (d) B Ç C is the set of players who are both not in B and not in C. Thus, B Ç C A È D, and since A and D are disjoint, na ( È D) na ( ) + nd ( ) There are 48 players in the set B Ç C. 48. Use the following table: A B C D Totals O 4,3, ,505 E 59,40 5,965 4,5,749 65,340 M Totals 74,4 64,984 5,09,95 03,375 (a) na ( È B) is the total number of female personnel serving in the Army or the Air Force: na ( È B) na ( ) + nb ( ) 39,395. (b) E È ( C È D) includes all enlisted personnel, and all personnel in the Navy and Marines. In order not to count any person twice, we take ne ( ) and add nc ( Ç E ) and nd ( Ç E ). This gives us 65,340 + ( ) + (0 + 0) 75,346. There are 75,346 people in the set E È ( C È D). (c) O Ç M E, since the enlisted are the only group who are both not officers and not cadets or midshipmen. Thus no ( Ç M ) ne ( ) 65,340. There are 65,340 people in the set O Ç M. 49. Reading directly from the table, na ( Ç B) 0.6. Thus, there are 0.6 million people in the set A Ç B. 50. ng ( È B) ng ( ) + nb ( ) - ng ( Ç B) Thus, there are.7 million people in the set G È B. 5. ng ( È ( CÇ H)) ng ( ) + nc ( Ç H) There are 85.4 million people in the set G È ( C Ç H). 5. The only intersection of the set F and the set B È H is the set F Ç B. Therefore, nf ( Ç ( BÈ H)) nf ( Ç B) There are 37.6 million people in the set F Ç ( B È H). 53. nh ( È D) nh ( ) + nd ( ) - nh ( Ç D) There are 7.0 million people in the set H È D.

19 Section First of all, A Ç C B È D È E since the only people not in set A and not in the set C are the people in set B or set D or set E. Second G F È H, since the only people not in the set G are either in the set F or the set H. Thus, the set G Ç ( A Ç C ) consists of people in either F or H and also in B, D, or E. Therefore, ng ( Ç ( A Ç C )) nf ( Ç B) + nf ( Ç D) + nf ( Ç E) + nh ( Ç B) + nh ( Ç D) + nh ( Ç E) There are 60. million people in the set G Ç ( A Ç C ). For Exercises 55 through 58, use the following table, where the numbers are in thousands and the table has been extended to include row and column totals.

These people are located in the first row of the table, in the B and H columns, so nn ( Ç ( BÈ H)) 3,547 +, 0 5,568; since the table values are in thousands, this set contains 5,568,000 people. 56. ( M È I) Ç A is the set of married or widowed people who are also Asian/Pacific Islanders.

( D ÈW) Ç A is the set of Whites or Divorced/ separated people who are not Asian/Pacific Islanders. The number of these people is found by adding the total of the W column to the total of the D row and then subtracting the number of Divorced/separated Whites (so we don t count them twice) and subtracting the number of Divorced/separated Asians/Pacific Islanders (whom we don t want to count). n(( D ÈW) Ç A ) 95, ,778-3, ,803; since the table values are in thousands, this set contains 03,803,000 people. 58. M Ç ( B È A) is the set of unmarried people who are either Blacks or Asian/Pacific Islanders. Their number can be found by adding the totals of the B and A columns and subtracting the number of married Blacks and the number of married Asian/Pacific Islanders. nm ( Ç ( BÈ A)) 9, 454 +, , 567; since the table values are in thousands, this set contains 4,567,000 people. 59.

Since nf ( Ç K) 5, we can put in F Ç C Ç K. Since nk ( Ç C ) 4, we can now put in K Ç F Ç C. Since nk ( ) 35, we can then put in C Ç K Ç F. Now we have run out of numbers that we can compute directly, so we put the unknown x into F Ç C Ç K. Since nf ( ) 4 we can now put x or 7 - x into F Ç C Ç K. Since nc ( Ç K ) 8, we can put 8 - x in C Ç F Ç K. Finally, since 0 families brought none of the three items, we can put a 0 outside the circles. The Venn diagram now looks like this: To find x, we note that since there were 75 families and 0 brought none of the three items, the total of the seven inner regions must be x x x implies that 70 - x 65 or x 5. This allows us to fill in all the missing regions. We can now read the answers to the questions from the completed diagram.

(a) Of the states listed, the ones that border an ocean are CA, NJ, and NY. Therefore, the event all three states border an ocean is the set {(CA, NJ, NY)}. (b) The states that border an ocean are CA, NJ, and NY. Therefore, the event exactly two of the three states border an ocean is the set {(CA, CO, NJ), (CA, CO, NY), (CA, NJ, UT), (CA, NY, UT), (CO, NJ, NY), (NJ, NY, UT)}. (c) The states that lie west of the Mississippi River are CA, CO, and UT.

Each outcome consists of two of the numbers,, 3, 4, and 5, without regard for order. For example, let (, 5) represent the outcome that the slips of paper marked with and 5 are drawn. There are ten equally likely outcomes in this sample space, which is S {(,),(,3),(,4),(,5),(,3), (,4), (,5), (3,4), (3,5), (4,5)}. (a) Both numbers in the outcome pair are even. This event is {(, 4)}, which is called a simple event since it consists of only one outcome. (b) One number in the pair is even and the other number is odd. This event is {(, ), (,4),(,3), (,5), (3, 4),(4,5)}. (c) Each slip of paper has a different number written on it, so it is not possible to draw two slips marked with the same number. This event is / 0, which is called an impossible event since it contains no outcomes. 6. Let w wrong; c correct. S { www, wwc, wcw, cww, ccw, cwc, wcc, ccc} ns ( ) 8. The problem states the outcomes are equally likely. (a) The student gets three answers wrong. This event is written {www}. (b) The student gets exactly two answers correct. Since either the first, second, or third answer can be wrong, this can happen in three ways. The event is written {ccw, cwc, wcc}. (c) The student gets only the first answer correct. The second and third answers must be wrong. This event is written {cww}. 7. S { HH, THH, HTH, TTHH, THTH, HTTH, TTTH, TTHT, THTT, HTTT, TTTT} ns ( ). The outcomes are not equally likely.

We restrict ourselves to the condition that at least one head has appeared. These three possibilities are equally likely so the probability of two heads is 3. At the second booth we are given the condition of one head in one shaker. The probability that the second shaker has one head is. Therefore, you stand the best chance at the second booth. 3.

If Laura does not redistribute the marbles, then the probability of winning the Porsche is, since the event of a pink marble being drawn is equivalent to the event of choosing the first of the two boxes. If however, Laura puts 49 of the pink marbles into the second box with the 50 blue marbles, the probability of a pink marble being drawn increases to 74. The probability of the first box 99 being chosen is, and the probability of drawing a pink marble from this box is. The probability of the second box being chosen is, and the probability of drawing a pink marble from this box is 49. Thus, the probability of drawing a pink 99 marble is Therefore Laura increases her chances of winning by redistributing some marbles. 36.
