A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is upper s equals { 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4

comma 5 comma 6 comma 7 comma 8 comma 9 comma 10 comma 11 comma 12 comma 13 comma 14 comma 15 }.s={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. let event upper a equals { 3 comma 4 comma 5 comma 6 }a={3,4,5,6} and event upper b equals { 10 comma 11 comma 12 }.b={10,11,12}. assume that each outcome is equally likely. list the outcomes in a and
b. are a and b mutually​ exclusive?

You can think of this experiment as follows: you have to select a random number between 1 and 15, where each number is equally likely to appear.

Player A wins if 3,4,5 or 6 are picked.

Player B wind is 10,11 or 12 are picked.

Two events are said to be mutually​ exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time. So, in our metaphor, the question is: can we pick a particular number, so that both players win simultaneously?

The question is no, because if player A wins, we have picked 3,4,5 or 6, and player B wins with none of these numbers.

Similarly, if player B wins, we have picked 10, 11 or 12, and player A wins with none of these numbers.

So, the two events cannot occur simultaneously.

If you want to be more formal, since the events are subset of the sample space, two events are mutually exclusive if their intersection is the empty set, and this is the case:

A \cap B = \{3,4,5,6\}\cap\{10,11,12\} = \emptyset

Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5). The slope of line AB is....
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for slope

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

As the Line AB contains points A (8, −4) and B (1, −5).

Put points value in the above

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

m = \frac{- 5- (-4)}{1 - 8}

m = \frac{- 5 + 4}{1 - 8}

m = \frac{- 1}{-7}

m = \frac{1}{7}

Therefore\ the\ slope\ of\ the\ line\ AB\ is \frac{1}{7} .

A coin is tossed twice. Let H represents heads, T represents tails, and the combination of the two letters represent the outcome
denis23 [38]

Answer:

{HH, HT, TH, TT}

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of all possible outcomes in tossing a coin twice is;

{HH, HT, TH, TT}

In the first toss the coin may land Heads. In the second toss the coin may land Heads or Tails. This can be represented as;

HH, HT

Heads in the first and second tosses. Heads in the first toss followed by a Tail in the second toss.

In the first toss the coin is also likely to land Tails. In the second toss the coin may land Heads or Tails. This can be represented as;

TH, TT

Tails in the first toss followed by a Head in the second toss. Tails in the first and second tosses.

Combining these two possibilities will give us the set of all possible outcomes in tossing a coin twice is;

{HH, HT, TH, TT}
