In John's closet we find: 3 shirts (1 blue, 1 red, 1 black) 2 pairs of pants (1 blue, 1 black) 2 pairs of shoes (1 black, 1 blue) Create a sample space of the possible outcomes of clothes combinations that John might wear (assuming he always wears a shirt, pair of pants, and pair of shoes). What is the complement of the P(John wears something red).

Respuesta :

Using it's concept, the sample space for the experiment is:

  • {Blue-Blue-Black, Blue-Blue-Blue, Blue-Black-Black, Blue-Black-Blue, Red-Blue-Black, Red-Blue-Blue, Red-Black-Black, Red-Black-Blue, Black-Blue-Black, Black-Blue-Blue, Black-Black-Black, Black-Black-Blue}
  • The complement of P(John wears something red) is he wearing a Blue or Black shirt, along with any combination for the pants and the shoes.

The sample space is the set that contains all possible outcomes for an experiment.

In this problem:

  • For the shirt, there are three possible outcomes: Blue, Red, Black.
  • For the pants, there are two possible outcomes: Blue, Black.
  • For the shoes, there are two possible outcomes: Black, Blue

Hence, considering the combinations, the sample space is, considering Shirt-Pants-Shoes:

{Blue-Blue-Black, Blue-Blue-Blue, Blue-Black-Black, Blue-Black-Blue, Red-Blue-Black, Red-Blue-Blue, Red-Black-Black, Red-Black-Blue, Black-Blue-Black, Black-Blue-Blue, Black-Black-Black, Black-Black-Blue}

The complement of P(John wears something red) is all outcomes in which he does not wear anything red, hence it is a Blue or Black shirt, along with any combination for the pants and the shoes.
