Question

g The intersection of events A and B is the event that occurs when: a. either A or B occurs but not both b. neither A nor B occur c. both A and B occur d. All of these choices are true. a. b. c. d.

Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

Answer 2

c. both A and B

Explanation:

Given that there are two events A and B.

To find:

Intersection of the two sets represents which of the following events:

a. either A or B occurs but not both

b. neither A nor B occur

c. both A and B occur

d. All of these choices are true. a. b. c. d

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the concept of intersection.

Intersection of two events means the common part in the two events.

Explanation using set theory:

Let set P contains the outcomes of roll of a dice.

P = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

And set Q contains the set of even numbers less than 10.

Q = {2, 4, 6, 8}

Common elements are {2, 4, 6}

So, intersection of P and Q:

`P \cap Q` = {2, 4, 6}

Explanation using Venn diagram:

Please refer to the image attached in the answer area.

The shaded region is the intersection of the two sets P and Q.

When we apply the above concept in events, we can clearly say from the above explanation that the intersection of two events A and B is the event that occurs when both A and B occur.

So, correct answer is:

c. both A and B
