To determine nnn (the total number of objects) and rrr (the number of objects to be selected or
arranged), you should look at the context of the problem. Here's how you can figure them out:
o If you are selecting a president and a vice president from a class of 10 students, r=2r =
2r=2 (since two positions are being chosen).
Example 1:
Problem: How many ways can you arrange 3 books from a collection of 5 books?
Example 2:
Problem: How many ways can you select a president and a vice president from 10 students?
You are selecting 2 people (one for president and one for vice president), so r=2r = 2r=2.
If you're unsure, feel free to give me an example, and I can help you identify nnn and rrr!

The concept of sample space and events is fundamental in probability theory. Here’s an explanation
based on your document:
Sample Space
Definition: A sample space (denoted by SS) is the set of all possible outcomes of a random
experiment.
Example:
Events
Types of Events:
1. Simple Event: An event that contains a single outcome. For example, in a die toss,
getting a "4" is the simple event E={4}E={4}.
2. Impossible Event: An event that cannot occur, represented by the empty set ϕϕ. For
example, rolling a "7" on a six-sided die.
4. Mutually Exclusive Events: Two events AA and BB are mutually exclusive if they cannot
occur simultaneously (e.g., A∩B=ϕA∩B=ϕ).
5. Independent Events: Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not
affect the occurrence of the other. Mathematically, P(A∩B)=P(A)⋅P(B)P(A∩B)=P(A)⋅P(B).
Events:
These concepts allow you to define and analyze probabilities for various outcomes systematically.

Random Experiment
A random experiment is a process or action that produces an outcome that cannot be predicted with
certainty in advance, even though the set of all possible outcomes is known.
1. Well-defined outcomes: The possible outcomes of the experiment are clearly defined.
2. Unpredictability: The exact outcome of a specific trial of the experiment cannot be determined
beforehand.
Outcomes: S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S={1,2,3,4,5,6}.
Outcomes: A real number in the interval [0,4000][0,4000], assuming no bulb lasts more
than 4000 hours.
The sample space (SS) represents all the possible outcomes of a random experiment.
For instance:
In rolling a die, the random experiment generates a single number between 1 and 6.
The event AA (e.g., rolling an even number) is a subset of the sample space: A={2,4,6}A={2,4,6}.
Importance
Random experiments form the basis for defining and calculating probabilities, which describe the
likelihood of different events occurring.
Here’s a quick quiz to test your understanding of sample space, events, and random experiments:
2. If you roll two six-sided dice, how many outcomes are in the sample space?
a) 6
b) 12
c) 36
d) 64
Part 2: Events
4. Which of the following events are mutually exclusive when tossing a six-sided die?
a) A={1, 3, 5}A={1, 3, 5} and B={2, 4, 6}B={2, 4, 6}
b) A={1, 2, 3}A={1, 2, 3} and B={3, 4, 5}B={3, 4, 5}
c) A={2, 4, 6}A={2, 4, 6} and B={1, 2}B={1, 2}
d) A={1, 2, 3, 4}A={1, 2, 3, 4} and B={5, 6}B={5, 6}
6. What is the sample space of drawing one card from a standard 52-card deck?
a) S={Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades}S={Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades}
b) S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S={1,2,3,4,5,6}
c) S={All 52 unique cards}S={All 52 unique cards}
d) S={Jack, Queen, King}S={Jack, Queen, King}
2. If you roll two six-sided dice, how many outcomes are in the sample space?
Answer: c) 36
Part 2: Events
6. What is the sample space of drawing one card from a standard 52-card deck?
Answer: c) S={All 52 unique cards}S={All 52 unique cards}
(The sample space includes each individual card in the deck, such as Ace of Spades, 2 of Hearts, etc.)
When flipping 3 coins, the sample space includes all possible outcomes where each coin can show
either Head (H) or Tail (T).
Sample Space:
S={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}S={HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
There are 23=823=8 outcomes because each coin has 2 possible results (H or T), and there are 3 coins.
Examples of Events:
Probabilities:
Assuming the coins are fair and the outcomes are equally likely, the probability of each outcome is:
P(B)=18P(B)=81
P(C)=1−P(Cc)=1−18=78P(C)=1−P(Cc)=1−81=87
Question:
What is the complement of the event A={1,3,5}A={1,3,5} when rolling a six-sided die?
Answer:
The complement of AA, denoted as AcAc, consists of all outcomes in the sample space SS that are NOT
in AA.
Why?
The complement AcAc represents the outcomes where AA does not occur. This ensures
that A∪Ac=SA∪Ac=S and A∩Ac=∅A∩Ac=∅ (they don’t overlap).
Question:
Answer:
Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot happen at the same time.
A∩B={3}≠∅A∩B={3}=∅.
1. Complement of an Event:
AcAc: Outcomes that are in the sample space SS but not in AA.
A∪Ac=SA∪Ac=S, A∩Ac=∅A∩Ac=∅.
Two events AA and BB are mutually exclusive if A∩B=∅A∩B=∅, meaning they cannot
happen simultaneously.
Mutually Exclusive: If events AA and BB are mutually exclusive, the probability of either event
occurring is P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B).
An event is a subset of the sample space SS in a probability experiment. Here is a detailed explanation of
different types of events, with examples and definitions:
1. Simple Event
A simple event consists of exactly one outcome from the sample space.
2. Compound Event
A compound event is made up of two or more outcomes from the sample space.
A sure event is one that includes all possible outcomes of the sample space. It is guaranteed to
occur.
Example: When rolling a die, the event E={1,2,3,4,5,6}E={1,2,3,4,5,6} represents a certain event
because one of these outcomes will always happen.
4. Impossible Event
An impossible event is one that cannot happen. It is represented by the empty set ϕϕ (or {}{}).
5. Complementary Event
The complement of an event AA, denoted AcAc, includes all outcomes in the sample space that
are not in AA.
Example:
7. Independent Events
Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the
other.
8. Dependent Events
Two events are dependent if the occurrence of one affects the probability of the other.
9. Exhaustive Events
A set of events is exhaustive if their union covers the entire sample space.
A={1,2},B={3,4},C={5,6}A={1,2},B={3,4},C={5,6}
Since A∪B∪C=SA∪B∪C=S, the events are exhaustive.
Events are overlapping if they can occur simultaneously, i.e., their intersection is not empty.
A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3}
B={3,4,5}B={3,4,5}
Here, A∩B={3}A∩B={3}, so AA and BB are overlapping.
Events are equally likely if they have the same probability of occurring.
A null event is another term for an impossible event, where no outcomes occur.
Sure (Certain) Event Covers the entire sample space Rolling a die: {1,2,3,4,5,6}{1,2,3,4,5,6}
Mutually Exclusive Events Cannot occur together Odd {1,3,5}{1,3,5} vs. Even {2,4,6}{2,4,6}
Independent Events One event does not affect the other Coin flips
Dependent Events One event affects the other Drawing cards without replacement
Exhaustive Events Combined events cover the entire sample space {1,2},{3,4},{5,6}{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}
Equally Likely Events All events have the same probability Tossing a fair coin: {Head, Tail}{Head, Tail}

Explanation: A simple event is one that consists of exactly one outcome from the sample space.
In this case, rolling a "5" corresponds to A={5}A={5}, which is just one outcome.
Question 2: What type of event is rolling a die and getting either "2" or "4"?
Question 3: If you roll a die, what is the complement of the event A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3}?
Answer: a) Ac={4,5,6}Ac={4,5,6}
Explanation: The complement of an event includes all outcomes in the sample space that are
not in AA. Since A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3}, the remaining outcomes in the sample
space S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S={1,2,3,4,5,6} are Ac={4,5,6}Ac={4,5,6}.
Explanation: Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. You
cannot roll both "2" and "3" on a single die roll, so these events are mutually exclusive.
For option (a), rolling an odd number and a number greater than 4 can overlap (e.g.,
"5").
For option (c), a card can’t be both red and a club, so it’s also mutually exclusive.
Question 5: Tossing two coins and observing the first coin is heads and the second coin is tails are
examples of what type of events?
Explanation: The outcome of one coin toss does not affect the outcome of the other. Tossing
heads on the first coin and tails on the second are independent events because the probability
of either event remains unchanged regardless of the other.
Answer: c) {3}{3}
Explanation: The intersection (A∩BA∩B) of two events includes outcomes that are common to
both. Since A={1,2,3}A={1,2,3} and B={3,4,5}B={3,4,5}, the common outcome is {3}{3}.
Bonus Question: What is the probability of rolling a die and getting a number greater than 6?
Answer: b) 0
Explanation: The sample space for rolling a six-sided die is S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S={1,2,3,4,5,6}. There
are no outcomes greater than 6, so the probability of this event is 0.
