Impossible and sure events
• The empty set and the sample space S are two subsets of S.
• The empty set is called an impossible event.
• The entire sample space S is called the sure event
Impossible events
• For an example, let us consider the rolling of a die. The associated sample
space is
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
• Let E be the event “The number appears on the die is a multiple of 7”
• Clearly, no outcome satisfies the condition given in the event E. Thus the
empty set only corresponds to the event E.
• Therefore we say the event E is an impossible event
sure events
• Let’s take another event F: “The number turns up is odd or event”
• Therefore F = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
• Thus the event F=S is called a sure event
