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.

Describe why seed dormancy is a valuable adaptation that has helped explain the evolutionary success of seed plants
ycow [4]

Seed dormancy allows for a seed to germinate only when the conditions are right to support the germination and growth of the plant. This adaptation, therefore, increases the chances of survival for the plant. Natural selection, which powers evolution, will always favor desirable traits which will be entrenched in a population through successive generations.

What is the purpose of the motor neuron?
Papessa [141]

To send information from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands - is the purpose of motor neuron

Explanation:

As part of the central nervous system (CNS), the motor neurons connect the brain and spinal cord to all the muscles and glands present all over the body and innervates them.

Their main function is to transmit nerve impulses from the CNS to the muscles, both skeletal and smooth, and directly controls the movements of the muscles of the body.

A motor neuron is a typical nerve cell with multipolar body. It can be upper of lower motor neuron.

Right from snapping of fingers to movements of hamstrings, all muscular movements functions due to impulse carried by the motor neurons.

Degeneration of the motor neurons leads to neurodegenerative diseases like spinal muscular atrophy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
