q1 - For this first question, let the experiment be "rolling a fair, ten-sided die" (numbered 0 through 9)
We denote the Sample Space as S, and the Events E, R, and Q to mean Even, Prime, and Square, respectively.
def: an even number can be written as "two times some other integer"
ex: 18 is even since 18 = (2)(9)
def: a prime number is defined to be a whole number greater than 1, whose only factors are 1 and itself
def: an square number can be written as "some integer, times itself" or "some integer, squared"
ex: the number 25 is a square number because "25 can we written as 'five times five'... that is, 25 = 5x5 "
Thus, S={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and E =
(express each set as a comma-separated list
inside a nicely drawn set of curly brackets)
