Beroulli trials 8. Summary. Set Defiitios Set A elemet a A a A Tabular method Rule method A = {2, 4,6,8,0, } A = { a a is eve} = the set of atural umbers Z = the set of itegers Q = the set of ratioal umbers R = the set of real umbers 2

2 . Set Defiitios Def: Set A is fiite, if A has a fiite umber of elemets. ot fiite = ifiite Def: Set A is coutable, if there is a oto fuctio f : A. ot coutable = ucoutable fiite coutable A = {2,4,6} is coutable., Z, & Q are coutable. R Q( = the set of irratioal umbers) is ucoutable. R is ucoutable. 3. Set Defiitios Def: Set A is a subset of set B, if a A a B. A B Def: (proper subset) φ = ull set A B = φ A & B are disjoit. (mutually exclusive) 4 2
