Since there are 86 disks with high shock resistance, |A| = 86. Since there are 79 disk with
high scratch resistance, |B| = 79.
To find the number disks in A B (|A B|), we have to find the number of disks that
have both highs shock resistance and high scratch resistance. There are 70 of these disks.
So, |A B| = 70.
|A B| = |A| + |B| - |A B| = 86 + 79 70 = 95.
A is the set of disks that have low shock resistance. There are 9 + 5 = 14 such disks.

Samples of emissions from three suppliers are classified for conformance to air-quality
specifications. The results from 100 samples are summarized as follows:
Conforms
Supplier
1
2
3

Yes
22
25
30

No
8
5
10

Let A denote the event that a sample is from supplier 1, and let B denote the event that a
sample conforms to specifications. Determine the number of samples in
A B and A B .
Solution:
The event A B represents the samples that are not from Supplier 1 and conform
to the standard.
There are 22 + 8 = 30 samples from Supplier 1 which means that there are 30
events in the sample space in set A .
This means that there are 100 30 = 70 events in A (i.e, 70 of the samples came
from Suppliers 1 and 2).
Of those 70 samples, 25 + 30 = 55 conform to the standard.
Thus, 55 of the 70 events in A are also in B .
There are 55 samples in A B .

There are 8 parts from supplier 1 that dont conform, 5 from supplier 2 that dont
conform , 10 form supplier 3 that dont conform. Therefore, |B| = 8 + 5 + 10 =
23.

The event A B represents the samples that are from Supplier 1, or that conform
to the standard.
Notice that the samples from Supplier 1 that conform to the standard are in both
events.
So, this event consists of all the samples that conform to the standard plus all the
samples from Supplier 1 that do not conform. That is a total of 22 + 25 + 30 + 8 =
85 samples.
Mathematically, we have A B A B A B 30 77 22 85.

a) {ab, ac, ad, bc, bd, cd, ba, ca, da, cb, db, dc} which can also be written {(a,b),
(a,c), (a,d), (b,a), (b,c), (b,d), (c,a), (c,b), (c,d), (d,a), (d,b), (d,c)}. The book uses
ab to denote the ordered pair (a,b).
b) {(a,b), (a,c), (a,d), (a,e), (a,f), (a,g), {(b,a), (b,c), (b,d), (b,e), (b,f), (b,g), (c,a),

c) Let d = defective, g = good; S = {gg, gd, dg, dd}
d) Let d = defective, g = good; S = {gd, dg, gg}
Note that in c) and d) the outcomes listed in the sample only indicate whether or not the
the first or second part selected was good or defective, but they do not indicate which
particular good or defective part was selected.
