Lesson 6.1 Union and Intersection of Events
6 6.2 Probability of Intersecting Events

In this lesson, you will gain a clear understanding of the union and intersection
of events. And will be able to encounter and become familiar with the words that are
related with this topic.

Let’s Recall

Activity 1: Given the following, put the letter of these shapes in the correct places.

A D E F
B

1. Which of the following is/are included in set A (all sides are equal)? __________

2. Which of the following is/are included in set B (Quadrilaterals)? _____________

3. Which of the following is/are included in both set (A  B)? __________________

4. Which of the following is/are common in set A and set B (A  B)? ____________

5. Which of the following is/are not included in any of the given set? ____________
Take Note!

1. UNION – of two sets contains all the elements contained in either set (or both sets).
The union is notated A  B.
2. INTERSECTION – of two sets contains only the elements that are in both sets.
The intersection is notated A  B.

EXAMPLE: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

A  B.= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}
A  B = {2, 4, 6}

Activity 2: Playing along with the chances.

Answer the following questions: Write your answer before the number.
1. In a True or false question, what is the probability of giving the correct answer?
2. What is the probability of having J month in a year?
3. What is the probability of a sun rising in Southeast part of the Philippines?
4. What is the probability of attending a flag ceremony at 3 in the afternoon?

Take Note!

PROBABILITY – is a field in mathematics that deals with the chances. It is always

between 0 and 1, where 0 means not possible and 1 means 100% possible. We have
this probability line that helps us visualize how likely or unlikely things would happen.
 Let’s Explore

Activity 3: Play with a deck of cards

Here is an example set of 52 playing cards, a deck of card. In a deck of card there
are 4 suits: club (), diamond (), heart () and spades (). Each suits 13 cards:
Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, King, and Queen.

1. How many red cards are there in a deck of cards? Enumerate.

2. How many cards are odd numbers? Enumerate.

3. How many cards is Odd and Red (O  R)? Enumerate.

4. What is the probability of picking a Jack and Diamond (J  D)? Enumerate.

5. What is the probability of drawing an Ace and a King (A  K) without

replacement? Enumerate.
 Let’s Elaborate

Probability of Intersection

Intersection – the intersection of two sets is a new set that contains all of the
elements that are in both sets. It is denoted as A  B, read as “A and B” at the
same time can also be written as B  A, “B and A”.
Set – a collection of elements

Probability - is a field of mathematics that deals with chance.

Experiment – an activity in which the results cannot be predicted
with certainty. Each repetition of an experiment is called a trial.
Outcome – a result of an experiment.
Event – any collection of outcomes and a simple event is an event
with one possible outcome.
Sample Space – for a given experiment is a set S that contains all
possible outcomes of the experiment. In any experiment for which
the sample space is S, the probability of an event occurring is
given by the formula.

𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 (𝐸)
𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑃) =
𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 (𝑆)

Where: E = number of outcomes of the event

S = number of all possible outcome.

Probability of Intersection
𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵(𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒)
Probability of an Intersection =
𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒
Example #1:
From 1-10, what is the probability of odd number and greater than 3 number?

{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
SET A (Odd number) = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
SET B (Greater than 3) = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
A  B = 5, 7, 9
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑨  𝑩
P(A  B) =
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝟑
P(A  B) =
𝟏𝟎
 Example #2:
From 1-10, what is the probability of even numbers and less than 9?
{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
SET A (Even number) = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
SET B (Less than 9) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
A  B = 2, 4, 6, 8
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑨  𝑩
P(A  B) =
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔
𝟒
P(A  B) =
𝟏𝟎
If two events A and B are independent, then the probability of both events
is the product of the probabilities for each event:
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
P(A  B) = P(A)P(B)
*The chance of all of two or more events occurring is called the intersection of
events. For independent events, the probability of the intersection of two or more
events is the product of the probabilities.
Example #3:
In a jar, there are 23 marbles: 7 blue, 2 white, 5 orange, 5 green and 4 yellow.

(a) What is the probability of picking blue and white (B  W) without

replacement?
7 2 1 7 1 7
P(B) = , P(W) = 22 𝑜𝑟 → P(B  W) =(23) (11) =
23 11 253

(b) What is the probability of picking orange and green (O  G) with

replacement?
5 5 5 5 25
P(O) = , P(G) = 23 → P(O  G) =(23) (23) =
23 529

(c) What is the probability of picking pink and red (P  R) without

replacement?
0 0 0 0 0
P(P) = , P(R) = → P(P R) =( ) ( ) = 𝑜𝑟 0
