Question

Eight identical slips of paper, each containing one number from one to eight, inclusive, are mixed up inside a bag. Subset A of the sample space represents the complement of the event in which the number 6 is drawn from the bag. Which shows subset A?

Answer 1

Sample space {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
Event {6}
Complement of event{1,2,3,4,5,7,8} and also a subset of sample space

Answer 2

Solution:

A=Numbers inside the Bag = {Eight Identical slips of paper numbering from 1 to 8} = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

Let B = Subset of A = Complement of the event in which number 6 is drawn from 8 numbers

 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} - {6}

B =Subset A = {1,2,3,4,5,7,8}
