Question

Consider the following sample space, S, and several events defined on it. S = {Albert, Betty, Abel, Jack, Patty, Meagan}, and the events are: F = {Betty, Patty, Meagan}, H = {Abel, Meagan}, and P = {Betty, Abel}. FH is ___________.

Answer 1

FnH = {Meagan}

Explanation:

Given the following sets and events:

S = {Albert, Betty, Abel, Jack, Patty, Meagan}

F = {Betty, Patty, Meagan},

H = {Abel, Meagan}

P = {Betty, Abel}.

In order to get FnH

The intersection of F and H is the element that is common to both sets. Hence for the set given, we can see that Meagan is common to both sets, therefore:

FnH = {Meagan}
