Section 1.1

1.
a. A but not B = A  B′

b. at least one of A and B = A  B

c. exactlỵ one hired = A and not B, or B and not A = (A  B′)  (B  A′)


2.
a. S = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3)}

b. A = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}

c. B = {(1,1), (1,3), (3,1), (3,3)}


3.
a. S = {1324, 1342, 1423, 1432, 2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3124, 3142, 4123, 4132, 3214, 3241, 4213, 4231}

b. Event A contains the outcomes where 1 is first in the list:
A = {1324, 1342, 1423, 1432}.

c. Event B contains the outcomes where 2 is first or second:
B = {2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3214, 3241, 4213, 4231}.

d. The event AB contains the outcomes in A or B or both:
AB = {1324, 1342, 1423, 1432, 2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3214, 3241, 4213, 4231}.
AB = , since 1 and 2 can’t both get into the championship game.
A = S – A = {2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3124, 3142, 4123, 4132, 3214, 3241, 4213, 4231}.


4.
a. A = {RRR, LLL, SSS}.

b. B = {RLS, RSL, LRS, LSR, SRL, SLR}.

c. C = {RRL, RRS, RLR, RSR, LRR, SRR}.

d. D = {RRL, RRS, RLR, RSR, LRR, SRR, LLR, LLS, LRL, LSL, RLL, SLL, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, RSS, LSS}
