Union and Intersection of Events

1. The union of events A and B, denoted A ∪ B, is the collection of all outcomes that are elements of A or B. It combines the descriptions of the two events using the word "or". 2. The intersection of events A and B, denoted A ∩ B, is the collection of all outcomes that are elements of both A and B. It combines the descriptions of the two events using the word "and". 3. Examples are provided to illustrate unions and intersections of events from experiments involving dice rolls, card draws, and other scenarios. Activities are included for students to practice finding unions and intersections of given events.

The union of events A and B,
Union of Events denoted by 𝑨 ⋃ 𝑩, is the
collection of all outcomes
that are combined elements
of sets A and B . It
corresponds to combining
descriptions of the two
events using the word “or”
PROBABILITY
Union of Events
Example #1: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8}

Example #2: O = {factors of 12}


P = {factors of 8}
PROBABILITY
Union of Events
Example #3: If you roll a die. You get a
“5” or an even number.

Example #4: Draw an ace or a club in a


standard deck of cards.
Activity #1
Given the events A and B, give the union of events.
1. Tossing a fair die.
Event A = natural numbers
less than four. 𝑨∪ 𝑩={𝟏 , 𝟐 , 𝟑 ,𝟒 ,𝟔 }
Event B = even numbers

2. Rolling a single die.


Event A= the number rolled is
even 𝑨∪ 𝑩={𝟐, 𝟑, 𝟒, 𝟓,𝟔}
Event B = the number rolled is
greater than 2
Activity #1
Given the events A and B, give the union of events.
3. Rolling a fair die.
Event A = odd number turns up.
Event B = the number is divisible by 3.
𝑨∪ 𝑩={𝟏 , 𝟑 , 𝟓 ,𝟔 }
PROBABILITY
The intersection of events A
Intersection of and B, denoted , is the
Events collection of all outcomes
that are elements of both
sets A and B. It corresponds
to combining descriptions of
two events using the word
“and”.

Example #3: When a die is rolled. The


number rolled is even and
is greater than 2.

Example #4: Draw an ace and a heart in


a standard deck of cards.
Activity #2
Given the event of an experiment. Determine the
intersection of each event.

1.If you roll a die, a “6” turns up


and an even number.
𝑨 ∩ 𝑩={𝟔 }
2. Suppose a die is fair, the
number rolled is both 𝑨∩ 𝑩={𝟏 , 𝟑 }
odd and less than four.
Activity #2
Given the event of an experiment. Determine the
intersection of each event.
