Answer:

Before rolling a die you do not know the result. This is an example of a random experiment. In particular, a random experiment is a process by which we observe something uncertain. After the experiment, the result of the random experiment is known. An outcome is a result of a random experiment. The set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space. Thus in the context of a random experiment, the sample space is our universal set. Here are some examples of random experiments and their sample spaces:

Random experiment: toss a coin; sample space: S={heads,tails} or as we usually write it, {H,T}.

Random experiment: roll a die; sample space: S={1,2,3,4,5,6}.

Random experiment: observe the number of iPhones sold by an Apple store in Boston in 2015; sample space: S={0,1,2,3,⋯}.

Random experiment: observe the number of goals in a soccer match; sample space: S={0,1,2,3,⋯}.

When we repeat a random experiment several times, we call each one of them a trial. Thus, a trial is a particular performance of a random experiment. In the example of tossing a coin, each trial will result in either heads or tails. Note that the sample space is defined based on how you define your random experiment. For example,

Example  

We toss a coin three times and observe the sequence of heads/tails. The sample space here may be defined as

S={(H,H,H),(H,H,T),(H,T,H),(T,H,H),(H,T,T),(T,H,T),(T,T,H),(T,T,T)}.

Our goal is to assign probability to certain events. For example, suppose that we would like to know the probability that the outcome of rolling a fair die is an even number. In this case, our event is the set E={2,4,6}. If the result of our random experiment belongs to the set E, we say that the event E has occurred. Thus an event is a collection of possible outcomes. In other words, an event is a subset of the sample space to which we assign a probability. Although we have not yet discussed how to find the probability of an event, you might be able to guess that the probability of {2,4,6} is 50 percent which is the same as 12 in the probability theory convention.

Outcome: A result of a random experiment.

Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes.

Event: A subset of the sample space.

Union and Intersection: If A and B are events, then A∪B and A∩B are also events. By remembering the definition of union and intersection, we observe that A∪B occurs if A or B occur. Similarly, A∩B occurs if both A and B occur. Similarly, if A1,A2,⋯,An are events, then the event A1∪A2∪A3⋯∪An occurs if at least one of A1,A2,⋯,An occurs. The event A1∩A2∩A3⋯∩An occurs if all of A1,A2,⋯,An occur. It can be helpful to remember that the key words "or" and "at least" correspond to unions and the key words "and" and "all of" correspond to intersections.

Elastic fibers are important to muscle tissue since they resist excessive stretching and help muscle fibers spring back to its o
brilliants [131]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Elastic fibers are composed of elastin, myofibrils and fibrillin. They are distributed <u>separately</u>, and therefore do not form bundles(they actually form a kind of mesh), like collagen fibers.

Elastic fibers are usually thin and long and can stretch up to 1.5x of their total length.

These fibers confer elasticity to the connective tissue. The mesh formed of elastic fibers easily yields to minimal tensions, returning to its original shape as soon as the deforming forces cease.

An example of the action of elastic fibers is when we pull the skin from our hands and release it, the elastic fibers are responsible for quickly returning the skin to its original shape.

Explain why recycling cans, bottles, and paper is a way to promote sustainability.
fomenos
Recycling that reduces toxic wastes and environmental pollution obviously provides immediate benefits to human health. By reducing wastes, recycling also conserves natural resources, protects natural ecosystems, and encourages biological diversity, all of which enhance the long run sustainability of the biosphere.
