Question

6. Let E, F, G be three events. Find expressions for the events that of E, F, G a. only E occurs; b. both E and G but not F occur; c. at least one of the events occurs; d. at least two of the events occur; e. all three occur; f. none of the events occurs; g. at most one of them occurs; h. at most two of them occur; i. exactly two of them occur; j. at most three of them occur.

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) only E occurs :

E((FUG)')

b.) both E and G but not F

EG(F')

C.) Atleast one of the events :

(E U G U F)

d.) Atleast two of the events

(EG U EF U GF)

E.) all three occurs

(EGF)

F.) none of the events occur :

(E U G U F)'

G.) At most one of the events occur

(EG U EF U GF)'

H.) at most two of them occur

(E' U G' U F')

I.) exactly two of them occur;

(EG U EF U GF) * (EGF)'

j. at most three of them occur.

EFG U (EFG)'

Step-by-step explanation:

Events = {E, F, G}

a.) only E occurs :

E((FUG)') ; E and not F or G

b.) both E and G but not F

EG(F') ; both E and G and not F

C.) Atleast one of the events :

(E U G U F) ; Either E or F or G

d.) Atleast two of the events

(EG U EF U GF) ; Either EG or EF or GF occurs

E.) all three occurs

(EGF) ; All three events, E, G and F occurs

F.) none of the events occur :

(E U G U F)' ; Neither E, G nor F occurs

G.) At most one of the events occur

(EG U EF U GF)' ; complement of atleast two) at most one

H.) at most two of them occur

(E' U G' U F') ; Either E , F or G does not occur

I.) exactly two of them occur;

(EG U EF U GF) * (EGF)' ; Exactly two events occurs and all three events Do not occur

j. at most three of them occur.

EFG U (EFG)' ; All three events occur union all three events do not occur
