Question

Use these sets to answer the following questions. Leave answers in reduced fraction form if necessary (write as a/b).

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
A = {2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15)
B = {1, 3, 9, 10, 14}
C = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
P(A) =
P(A) =

Answer 1

2 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the set :

U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

A = {2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15)

B = {1, 3, 9, 10, 14}

C = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

P(A) =?

The universal set, U = sample space = total possible outcomes = 15

The required outcome = elements in set A, {2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15) = 6

P(A) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(A) = 6 / 15 = 2 / 5
