Physical Sciences
At a state middle-school science fair, students launch bottle rockets designed and built from plastic two-liter beverage containers. An experiment consists of recording the general appearance of a rocket [bad (B), good (G), or excellent (E)] and the maximum altitude [low (L), medium (M), or high (H)]. Consider the following events.
A = The rocket is rated as excellent.
B = The rocket flies to a high altitude.
C = The rocket is rated as bad or flies low.
D = The rocket is good and flies to a medium altitude.
a. Find the sample space S for this experiment.
b. List the outcomes in each of the events A, B, C, and D.
c. List the outcomes in A ∪ B, B ∪ C, and D'.
d. List the outcomes in A ∩ B, C ∩ D, and (B ∪ D)'.
