Florin Frenti operates a small, used car lot that has three Mercedes $\left(M_{1}, M_{2}, M_{3}\right)$ and two Toyotas $\left(T_{1}, T_{2}\right)$. Two customers, Cezara and Anda, come to his lot, and each selects a car. The customers do not know each other, and there is no communication between them. Let the events $A$ and $B$ be defined as follows: $A$ : The customers select at least one Toyota. $B$ : The customers select two cars of the same model. a. Identify all pairs of cars in the sample space. b. Define event $A$. c. Define event $B$. d. Define the complement of $A$. e. Show that $(A \cap B) \cup(\bar{A} \cap B)=B$. f. Show that $A \cup(\bar{A} \cap B)=A \cup B$.

Key Concepts

Sample Space

The sample space represents the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment or process. In probability, it is crucial to define this space accurately because all events are subsets of it. For example, when selecting two cars from a lot, the sample space consists of all distinct pairs of cars that can be chosen, providing the foundation for calculating probabilities.

Event Definition

An event is any subset of the sample space to which a probability is assigned. Defining events precisely allows us to analyze specific outcomes or sets of outcomes. For instance, an event may be defined as the occurrence of certain types of car selections, and by clearly articulating these conditions, one can work with probabilities or perform further set operations.

Complement of an Event

The complement of an event consists of all outcomes in the sample space that are not part of the event. This concept is fundamental because it relates the probability of an event to the probability of its not occurring, often via the relation P(Event) + P(Complement) = 1. It is a useful tool when evaluating probabilities indirectly.

Set Operations and Identities

Set operations such as union and intersection are essential in combining events and understanding their relationships. The union of two events represents all outcomes that belong to at least one of the events, while the intersection represents outcomes common to both. Moreover, set identities, such as the distributive property or the equivalence between expressions like A ? (A? ? B) and A ? B, allow us to simplify the analysis of events and prove relationships between them.
