Gr 10 Math Ch 11: Complemantary Events

What is the complement of a set A?

A' is the same as set A.

A' contains elements that are not in A. (correct)

A' is a subset of A.

A' contains all elements in A.

Which statement about complementary events is true?

Complementary events can have some elements in common.

Complementary events are always equal.

The union of A and A' always equals the sample space S. (correct)

The probability of an event and its complement is always 0.

What does it mean when two events are mutually exclusive?

They share some common outcomes.

They can occur at the same time.

The occurrence of one event implies the other cannot occur. (correct)

Their probabilities sum to more than 1.
