Describing the Union of Events

The video tutorial explains the concept of the union of events in probability, focusing on how to describe and calculate it using both listing and formula methods. It covers intersections, common misunderstandings, and provides practical examples to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also discusses the probability of certain outcomes in a game scenario, emphasizing the importance of understanding unions and intersections in probability.

What happens if a player rolls a number that is at least four or a prime number?

• The player skips a turn.

• The player rolls again.

• The player moves back one space.

• The player moves forward one space.

Which of the following is an example of an intersection of two events?

• Rolling a 5 or a 6.

• Rolling a 1 and a 3.

• Rolling a 2 and a 5.

• Rolling a 2 or a 4.

How do you avoid overcounting when listing outcomes for a union?

• By adding all outcomes together.

• By subtracting the intersection.

• By listing each outcome twice.

• By ignoring repeated outcomes.

What is the union of rolling an even number or a prime number?

• 2, 3, 5

• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

• 4, 5, 6

In the formula for union, what do you subtract from the sum of two events?

• The total number of outcomes.

• The intersection of the events.

• The difference between the events.

• The product of the events.

How many outcomes result in moving back one space in the game?

• 4 outcomes

• 3 outcomes

• 6 outcomes

• 5 outcomes

What is the probability of moving back one space in the game?

• 83.3%

• 66.7%

• 100%

• 50%
