An experiment consists of rolling a standard 6-sided die (D6).

The sample space is <m>\Omega = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}</m>.

One possible event is <m>A = \{2, 4, 6\}</m>, i.e., the event that the result of the roll is even.

One last (very useful!) observation.
|
||||
Recall: If <m>A\cap B = \emptyset</m>, then <m>\Pr(A\cup B) = \Pr(A) + \Pr(B)</m>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For any event <m>A</m>, <m>A\cap A^c = \emptyset</m> and <m>A \cup A^c = \Omega</m>.
|
||||
So:
|
||||
<md>
|
||||
<mrow> 1 = \Pr(\underbrace{A \cup A^c}_{\Omega}) = \Pr(A) + \Pr(A^c). </mrow>
|
||||
</md>
|
||||
We can rewrite this in two useful ways:
|
||||
<md>
|
||||
<mrow> \Pr(A) \amp = 1 - \Pr(A^c) </mrow>
|
||||
<mrow> \Pr(A^c) \amp = 1 - \Pr(A) </mrow>
