Two dice are thrown. The events A, B and C are as follows:
A: getting an even number on the first die.
B: getting an odd number on the first die.
C: getting the sum of the numbers on the dice ≤ 5
State whether the following is true or false (give reason for your answer):
A and B' are mutually exclusive.

From a group of 2 boys and 3 girls, two children selected at random. Describe the events:
A : Both children are girls.
B : The selected group consists of one boy and one girl.
C : The group consists of atleast one girl.
Find: (a) Events: B', C - A, A ∪ B,B ∩ C.
(b) Which pairs of events are mutually exclusive?
Let the boys be  and the girls beÂ
Two children are selected.
∴ The sample space is:
             Â
A: Both children are girls.
            Â
B: Selected group consists of one boy and one girl.
           Â
C: Selected group consists of atleast one girl.
           Â
(a) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

                                   Â
              =Â
         Â

             Â
               Â
      Â
(b) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A and B are mutually exclusive.
          Â
          Â
Hence, only events A and B are mutually exclusive.

One die is rolled. Define the sample space S of the following:
A : Getting a prime number
B : Getting an odd number
C : Getting a number less than 5
D : Getting a number divisible by 3
Use the sample space and above sets to find:
(i) A ∩ B (ii) B' (iii) C' ∩ D
(iv) A ∪ B (v) C ∩ D
Two dice are thrown and the sum of the numbers which come up on the dice is noted. Let us consider the following events associated with this experiment:
A : The sum is even
B : The sum is multiple of 3
C : The sum is less than 4
D : The sum is greater than 11.
Which pairs of these events are mutually exclusive?
A coin is tossed three times. Consider the following events:
A : No head appears
B : Exactly one head appears.
C : At least two heads appear
Do they form set of mutually exclusive and exhaustive events?
A die is rolled once and the following events are described:
A : Getting a prime number on the die.
B : Getting an even number on the die.
Write the sets representing the following events.
(a) A ∩ B   (b) A ∪ B    (c) A-B
(d) A' ∩ B'  (e) A ∪ B'
Three coins are tossed (or one coin is tossed thrice). The following events are described:
A : Getting atleast one head.
B : Getting atmost one head. Write the sets representing the following events:
(a) A ∪ B (b) A ∩ B (c) A - B
(d) A' - B.
Which of the events is a sure event and which one is impossible event ?
Two dice are rolled and the sum of numbers on them is noted. Events A, B, C, D are described as follows:
A : The sum is even.
B : The sum is a multiple of 4.
C : The sum is less than 6.
D : The sum is greater than 10.
Which pairs of the events are mutually exclusive?
A : Getting a sum 10
B : Getting a sum 11
C : Getting a sum 12
(i) Is event B simple? (ii) Is event C simple? (iii) Is event A compound?
Are events B and C mutually exclusive?
