Module 3 Flashcards
Is a fundamental building block of
statistics
Probability
is the source of several very powerful
techniques used to represent randomness
Statistics
generate the random variate streams that drive a stochastic simulation
statistics
interpret the output data obtained from
conducting a stochastic simulation experiment.
statistics
collection of objects and usually denoted by capital letters
Set
objects of the set ( E )
Element
a set having no elements. ( or { } )
Null or Empty Set
There are no repeated occurrences of an element in the definition of
a set. (T OR F)
True
There are repeated occurrences of an element in the definition of
a set. (T OR F)
False
An object is either an element of a set or it is not. (T OR F)
True
A set is said to be _____ if the elements of the set can be put in a one-to-one correspondence with the positive integer
countable
A set is called ____ if it is empty or if it has elements that can counted with the
counting process terminating.
finite
A set that is not finite is called _____
infinitr
If every element of set A is also an element of set B, then A is said to be
contained in B and A is called a_____ of B denoted as A C_ B
subset
Two sets are said to be ______ if they have no common elements.
disjoint
The largest or all-encompassing set of elements under discussion in a given
situation is called the ___ denoted by U
universal / universal set
Two sets A and B are said to be _____, denoted A = B, if set A and set B
contained exactly the same elements
equal
The ____ of two sets A and B, denoted A U B, is the set consisting of all
elements that are contained either in set A or in set B.
union
The _______ of two sets A and B, denoted A _ B, is the set consisting of all
elements that are contained in both sets A and B
intersection
The ____ of two sets A and B, denoted A – B, is the set consisting of the
elements contained in set A that are not contained in set B. It should be
observed that, in general, A – B != B – A
difference
U = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 }
A = { 2, 4, 10 }
B = { 4, 6, 8, 10 }
What is A U B?
What is A intersect B?
What is A complement?
What is A – B?
What is B – A?
- {2,4,6,8,10}
- {4,10}
- {6,8,12}
- {2}
- {6,8}
A set of elements called the set X
domain
A set of elements called the set Y
codomain
A ________ that associates each element of
the domain set with exactly one element of the codomain set.
