Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves determining outcomes for a probability scenario in which a marble is selected from a bag containing marbles numbered from 1 to 8. Here's a breakdown of the events and the solution:
- Event A: The marble selected has an even number.
- Event B: The marble selected has a number from 3 to 6.
Event A:
The even numbers from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} are:
- Even numbers: {2, 4, 6, 8}
Event B:
The numbers from 3 to 6 are:
- Numbers: {3, 4, 5, 6}
(a) Event "A and B" (intersection of A and B):
This refers to the numbers that satisfy both Event A and Event B, meaning the marble is even and is between 3 and 6:
- Intersection of {2, 4, 6, 8} and {3, 4, 5, 6} = {4, 6}
Thus, the outcome for Event "A and B" is {4, 6}.
(b) Event "A or B" (union of A and B):
This refers to the numbers that satisfy either Event A or Event B, meaning the marble is even or is between 3 and 6:
- Union of {2, 4, 6, 8} and {3, 4, 5, 6} = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
Thus, the outcome for Event "A or B" is {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}.

Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What is the probability of drawing a marble with an even number?
- How many possible outcomes are there in total?
- What is the complement of Event A?
- What is the complement of Event B?
- If a marble is chosen at random, what is the probability it is either even or between 3 and 6?
Tip: When dealing with probability questions involving unions and intersections, always visualize the sets or use Venn diagrams to better understand the relations.
