Elementary event-
The elementary events are
Composite event-
Composite events consists of more than one elementary events.
Some examples of composite events are
Two mutually exclusive composite events-
Two events are mutually exclusive if these are disjoint.
An example of two mutually exclusive composite events is as follows.
,
Clearly, and
So, events A and B are mutually exclusive.
Two dependent events-
Two events are dependent if occurrence of one is influenced by other. In case of dependence of two events A and B,
An example of two dependent events is as follows.
,
Clearly, and
Two independent events-
Two events are independent if occurrence of one is not influenced by other. In case of independence of two events A and B,
An example of two dependent events is as follows.
,
Clearly, and
A composite event and its complimentary event-
An example of composite event is
Hence, a composite event is obtaining odd numbers and its complement event is obtaining even numbers.
