Worked solution

17(a)

1. Identify the elements in the universal set.

Since ξ={integers x:1<x<21}\xi=\{\text{integers }x:1<x<21\},

ξ={2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20}.\xi=\{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20\}.

2. List the perfect squares in the universal set.

The perfect squares in ξ\xi are

22=4,32=9,42=16.2^2=4,\quad 3^2=9,\quad 4^2=16.

So

A={4,9,16}.A=\{4,9,16\}.

3. List the non-prime numbers and the multiples of 5 in the universal set.

In ξ\xi, the prime numbers are

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19.2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19.

Hence the integers in ξ\xi that are not prime are

B={4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20}.B=\{4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20\}.

The integers in ξ\xi divisible by 55 are

C={5,10,15,20}.C=\{5,10,15,20\}.

Answer

A={4,9,16}A=\{4,9,16\}

B={4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20}B=\{4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20\}

C={5,10,15,20}C=\{5,10,15,20\}

17(b)

1. Find the elements in $B$ that are not in $C$ and count them.

From part (a),

B={4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20}B=\{4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20\} and C={5,10,15,20}C=\{5,10,15,20\}.

B∩C′B\cap C' means elements in BB but not in CC.

So,

B∩C′={4,6,8,9,12,14,16,18}B\cap C'=\{4,6,8,9,12,14,16,18\}.

Hence, n(B∩C′)=8n(B\cap C')=8.

Answer

88

17(c)

1. Use the number of favourable outcomes and divide by the total number of possible outcomes.

From part (b), n(B∩C′)=8n(B\cap C')=8.

Since ξ={2,3,4,…,20}\xi=\{2,3,4,\ldots,20\}, n(ξ)=19n(\xi)=19.

P(not prime and not divisible by 5)=n(B∩C′)n(ξ)=819P(\text{not prime and not divisible by }5)=\frac{n(B\cap C')}{n(\xi)}=\frac{8}{19}

Answer

819\dfrac{8}{19}
