The Deep Dive
The outcomes in \( F \) or \( G \) can be found by taking the union of sets \( F \) and \( G \). This means we combine all unique elements from both sets: \( F = \{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\} \) and \( G = \{9, 10, 11, 12\} \). Thus, \( F \) or \( G = \{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\} \). To find \( P(F \text{ or } G) \), we count the outcomes. There are 8 outcomes in total (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) out of 12 total possible outcomes in \( S \). Thus, \( P(F \text{ or } G) = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \). Using the general addition rule gives: \[ P(F) + P(G) - P(F \cap G) \] Calculating separately: - \( P(F) = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( P(G) = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} \) - \( P(F \cap G) \) includes outcomes \( \{9, 10\} \), so \( P(F \cap G) = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6} \) Thus, \[ P(F \text{ or } G) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \] So the outcomes are: A. \( F \text{ or } G=\{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\} \)
