Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. probability; The probability of an event is restricted to values between 0 and 1, inclusive of 0 and 1.

3. An experiment is an activity with an observable result.

5. The probability of the union of two events occurring is a number that describes the likelihood that at least one of the events from a probability model occurs. In both a union of sets A and B and a union of events AandB, the union includes either AorB or both. The difference is that a union of sets results in another set, while the union of events is a probability, so it is always a numerical value between 0 and 1.
