Let E, F, and G be three events. Find expressions for the events so that, of E, F, and G,

(a) only E occurs;

(b) both E and G, but not F, occur;

(c) at least one of the events occurs;

(d) at least two of the events occur;

(e) all three events occur;

(f) none of the events occurs;

(g) at most one of the events occurs;

(h) at most two of the events occur;

(i) exactly two of the events occur;

(j) at most three of the events occur.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The events are as follows

(a) EFG

(b) EFG

(c) E∪F∪G

(d) EF∪EG∪FG

(e) EFG

(f) EFG

(g)role="math" localid="1650438439004" EFG∪EFG∪EFG∪EFG

(h)EFG

(i) EFG+EFG+EFG

(j)S

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Three eventsE,FandG

02

Part(a)

Only E occours=EFG

03

Part(b)

Both E and G occors but not F=EFG

04

Part(c)

Atleast one of the events occor =E∪F∪G

05

Part(d)

Atleast two of the events occor=EF∪FG∪EG

06

Part(e)

All three events occor=EFG

07

Part(f)

None of the events occor=EFG

08

Part(g)

Atmost one of the two events occor=EFG∪EFG∪EFG∪EFG

09

Part(h)

Atmost two of the events occor=EFG

10

Part(i)

Exactly two of the events occor=EFG+EFG+EFG

11

Part(j)

Atmost three of the events occor=S

where Sdenotes a super-set of all the sets possible.
