Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this, let's break down each event with respect to the information given.
-
Sample Space (S): The marbles are numbered from 1 to 8, so the sample space is:
-
Event Definitions:
- Event : The marble selected has an even number. Thus:
- Event : The marble selected has a number from 3 to 6. Thus:
-
Calculating Outcomes:
- (a) Event : This includes outcomes in either or or both. The union of and is:
- (b) Event : This includes outcomes that are in both and . The intersection of and is:
- (c) The complement of event : This includes outcomes that are in but not in :
Final Answers:
- (a) :
- (b) :
- (c) Complement of :

Here are some related questions for further practice:
- What is the probability of selecting an even-numbered marble from the bag?
- What is the probability of selecting a marble numbered 3 to 6?
- How many outcomes are there in the complement of event ?
- If the bag also contained marbles numbered 9 and 10, how would that affect the events?
- What is the probability of selecting a marble that meets both conditions and ?
Tip: For events involving "or" (union) and "and" (intersection), visualize them with a Venn diagram to better understand overlapping elements.
