Question

One die is rolled. List the outcomes comprising the following events: (make sure you use the correct notation with the set braces { }, put comma between the outcomes and do not put space between them)

(a) event the die comes up odd
(b) event the die comes up 3
(c) event the die comes up at most 2

Answer 1

When rolling a six-sided die, the outcomes for the event where the die comes up odd are {1,3,5}, the event where it comes up as 3 is {3}, and the event where it comes up at most 2 consists of {1,2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

When rolling one fair, six-sided die, the possible outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. The events can be described as follows:

• Event A: the die comes up odd, which includes the outcomes {1,3,5}.
• Event B: the die comes up a 3, which is the single outcome {3}.
• Event C: the die comes up at most 2, which includes the outcomes {1,2}.

These are the basic events in the context of rolling a single die.
