 Let Us Learn
After going through this module, you are expected to:

Illustrate events, and union and intersection of events. (M10SP-IIIf-1)

Specifically, you will;

a. Illustrate an event using the Venn diagram;

b. Point out the difference between union and intersection of events;
c. Use the Venn diagram to illustrate union and intersection of events;
d. Determine the elements in the union and intersection of events; and
e. State the probability of an event.

Let Us Try

As we look around us, we see the wonderful things created by God and each
with a definite purpose. Can you easily point out how things around you are alike
or how different they are?
In this lesson you will be dealing with the union and intersection of events,
also you are to learn how to point out the difference between union and
intersection of events, how to use the Venn diagram to illustrate such union or
intersection and also, how to name elements of each event.

Before we go further, let us have a drill of the previous lessons that in a way related
to our topic about Union and Intersection of Events.

Consider the following situations below. Use your previous knowledge on

probability to answer each situation.

A.
1. Roll a die once. What is the chance of getting:
a. 2
b. 5
c. an odd number
d. an even number

2. In a box with 8 marbles where 3 are yellow, 2 are blue and the rest are
red, what is the chance of drawing:
a. a blue marble
b. a red marble
c. a pink marble

1
B. From your class, choose 20 classmates of yours and identify who among them is
good at:

1. Writing
2. Painting
3. Public Speaking

The activity above somehow activated your prior knowledge about the topic in
this module. This is a good foundation for you to understand the concepts that will
be discussed and will enable you to form connections with the current topic.

Let Us Study
Activities such as tossing a coin, rolling a die or even randomly choosing a ball
from a basket or a box which could be repeated again and again and that gives you
well-defined results are called experiment. The results of an experiment are called
outcomes; and the set of outcomes in an experiment is a sample space. A subset of
the sample space is called an event.

 Probability of Simple Event

𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟

𝑃(𝐸) =
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠

 The union of events is a new set containing all of the elements in at least one
of the two sets. (symbol:𝖴)
 The union is written as 𝐴 𝖴 𝐵 or 𝐴 𝑜𝑟 𝐵.
 The intersection of events is a new set containing all of the elements in both
sets. (symbol: ∩)
 The intersection is written as 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 or 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵.
 Disjoint events are events with no common element.
 A Venn diagram is used to give a good representation of events.

Examples:

1. Illustrate the following : A ={ odd numbers from 1 to 10} and

B ={ even numbers from 1 to 10}

2
 A B

1 3 2 4

5 6

7 9 8 10

A and B are disjoint events because they don’t have any common element,
their intersection is an empty set or a null set.
Union of A and B A 𝖴 B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Intersection of A and B A∩B={ }

2. Illustrate the following: C = {1,2,3,4,5} and D = {2,4,6,8,10}

Solution:

C D

6
1
2 8
3
4 10
5

C and D are joint events/sets because 2 and 4 are elements that belong to
both C and D.

𝐶 𝖴 𝐷 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}

𝐶 ∩ 𝐷 = {2,4}
Elements that belong to 𝐶 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 = {1, 3, 5}

Elements that belong to 𝐷 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 = {6, 8, 10}

Using the Venn diagram above, show the probability of the following
situations:

3
a. P(C) (read as probability of C)
5
𝑃(𝐶) =
8
Since there are 5 elements that belong to C out of the 8 elements in the given.

b. P(D) (read as probability of D)

5
𝑃(𝐷) =
8
Since there are 5 elements that belong to D out of the 8 elements in the given.

c. P(C ∩ D) (read as probability of C intersection D or the probability of getting an

element from the intersection of C and D)

2
𝑃(𝐶 ∩ 𝐷) =
8
1
𝑃(𝐶 ∩ 𝐷) =
4

Since there are 2 elements that belong to the intersection of C and D out of the
8 elements in the given. ¼ on the other hand, is the reduced form of 2/8.
d. P (odd number)
3
𝑃(𝑜𝑑𝑑 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟) =
8
Since there are only 3 odd numbers out of the 8 elements in the given.

Let Us Practice

Tell whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE. Write your answers on the spaces
provided before each number.

1. If X = {5, 6, 7} and Y = {6, 8, 10, 12}; then X 𝖴 Y = {5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12}.

2. If M = {a, b, c} and L = {b, c, d}; then M intersection L = {b, c}.
3. Union of events is a set of elements that are common to both sets.
4. Two disjoint sets have at least one element in common.
5. Two overlapping sets have all the elements common.
6. If two given sets have no elements common to both the sets, the sets are
said to be disjoint.
7. If C and D are two disjoint sets then C ∩ D = { }, the null set.
8. If R and S are two overlapping sets then intersection of two sets R and S
is not an empty set.

4
 9. If S = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} and T = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; then P (even number) = 5/10
10. Using the data in no. 9; then P (S ∩ T) = 2/9

II. Do as indicated

Given: If P = {a, b, c, d}, Q = {c, d, e, f} and R = {b, d, f, g};

A. Illustrate the given sets in a Venn Diagram.

B. Give the elements of the following:

1. P ∩ Q

2. P 𝖴 R

3. Q 𝖴 R

4. P ∩ Q ∩ R

C. Determine the Probability of the following:

5. P (P ∩ R)

6. P (Q 𝖴 R)

7. P (P ∩ Q ∩ R)

1. Illustrate using a Venn diagram

2. If your teacher will randomly choose a student from the group you’ve
created (20 students)
2.1 What is the probability that your teacher will be able to choose a student
who can do all three (3) – writing, painting, public speaking?
Answer:
2.2 What is the probability of choosing a student who does Writing? Painting?
Public speaking? Only.
Answer:
2.3 The chance of choosing someone who cannot perform any of the three
(writing, painting, public speaking)
Answer:

 Let Us Remember

 Outcomes are result of an experiment.

 The sample space is the set of all outcomes
 Event is a subset of the sample space
 The union is denoted by A𝖴B or “A or B”.
 The intersection is written as A∩B or “A and B”.
 Disjoint events are events with no common element/happening.
 Joint sets/events are those with common element/happening.
 𝖴 symbol for union of events
 ∩ symbol for intersection of events
 A Venn diagram is used to give a good representation of events.
 P(e) = number of ways the event can occur
Number of possible outcome

both dancing and singing. Wilma, Juvy and Rene volunteered to act and dance as
well.

Can dance and act?
6. Is there anybody can perform all three (singing, dancing, acting)?
7. How many can sing only? dance only? act only?
