Question

A blue die and a red die are thrown. B is the event that the blue comes up with a 6. E is the event that both dice come up even. Write the sizes of the sets |E ∩ B| and |B|a. |E ∩ B| = ___b. |B| = ____

Answer 1

Answer:

Size of |E n B| = 2

Size of |B| = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume both die are 6 sides

Given

Blue die and Red Die

Required

Sizes of sets

- $|E\ n\ B|$

- $|B|$

The question stated the following;

B = Event that blue die comes up with 6

E = Event that both dice come even

So first; we'll list out the sample space of both events

$B = \{6\}$

$E = \{2,4,6\}$

Calculating the size of |E n B|

$|E n B| = \{2,4,6\}\ n\ \{6\}$

$|E n B| = \{2,4,6\}$

The size = 3 because it contains 3 possible outcomes

Calculating the size of |B|

$B = \{6\}$

The size = 1 because it contains 1 possible outcome
