Question

Suppose that vehicles taking a particular freeway exit can turn right (R), turn left (L), or go straight (S). Consider observing the direction for each of three successive vehicles. (Enter your answers in set notation. Enter EMPTY or ∅ for the empty set.)(a) List all outcomes in the event A that all three vehicles go in the same direction.A = (b) List all outcomes in the event B that all three vehicles take different directions.B = (c) List all outcomes in the event C that exactly two of the three vehicles turn right.C = (d) List all outcomes in the event D that exactly two vehicles go in the same direction.D = (e) List outcomes in D'.D' = List outcomes in C ∪ D.C ∪ D = List outcomes in C ∩ D.C ∩ D =

Answer 1

Answer:

a. A = {RRR,LLL,SSS}

b. B = {RLS, RSL, LSR, LRS, SRL, SLR}

c. C = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

d. D = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, LSS, RSS, LLS, LLR, LRL, LSL, SLL, RLL}

e. C U D= {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, LSS, RSS, LLS, LLR, LRL, LSL, SLL, RLL}

C n D = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

Step-by-step explanation:

a..

All three vehicles go in the same direction

This means that all the three vehicles either go straight, or right or left at the same time.

So, A { {RRR, LLL, SSS}

b..

All three vehicles take different directions

Thus means that all the vehicle take different routes

If a vehicle takes the the straight direction, the other 2 vehicles take right and left directions respectively

So, B = {RLS, RSL, LSR, LRS, SRL, SLR}

c..

Exactly two of the three vehicles turn right

This means that two vehicles take right direction while the last vehicle either tske the straight route or left route.

C = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

d..

Exactly two vehicles go in the same direction.

The means that if two vehicles pass straight direction then the third vehicle takes either the right or left direction.

Also, if two vehicles pass right direction, the third vehicle either takes the left direction or straight direction

Lastly, if two vehicles pass left direction then the third vehicle either pass the straight direction or right direction.

D = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, LSS, RSS, LLS, LLR, LRL, LSL, SLL, RLL}

e. C U D = the union of items in C and D without repetition

So,

C U D= {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, LSS, RSS, LLS, LLR, LRL, LSL, SLL, RLL}

C n D = Common items in C and D

C n D = {RRS, RRL, RSR, RLR, LRR, SRR}

List outcomes in D'.D' = List outcomes in C ∪ D.C ∪ D = List outcomes in C ∩ D.C ∩ D =
