INTRODUCTION:
Sets:
Set is a collection of distinct objects.
 A set is a gathering together into a
whole of definite, distinct objects of
our perception [Anschauung] or of
our thought—which are
called elements of the set.
Elements:
 Elements are the building blocks of the sets.
Describing a SET:
The Roster method:
A={1,3,5,7,9,11}
Descriptive method:
A={set of odd integers less than 13}
Set Builder Notation:
A={x|x is an odd Number x<12}
SUBSETS:
A is subset of B
A set that consists of some elements or
members of another set, is called a subset of
that set.
Here A is subset of B
Supersets:
Here B is
superset of A.

Exhaustive Events:
Events are said to be collectively
exhaustive when the union of
mutually exclusive events is the
entire sample space S.
