    Question

    Suppose you drill a hole and then measure it. We define the event A if the diameter of the hole is larger than 2.3 cm and smaller than 2.5 cm. What then is the complement event of A, if A\bar{A}?


    1. FALSE: A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is less than 2.3 cm}
    2. FALSE: A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is greater than 2.5 cm}
    3. FALSE: A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is greater than 4.8 cm}
    4. TRUE: A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is less than 2.3 cm or greater than 2.5 cm}

    1. A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is less than 2.3 cm}: Incorrect
    2. A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is greater than 2.5 cm}: Incorrect
    3. A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is greater than 4.8 cm}: Incorrect
    4. A\bar{A} = {the diameter of the hole is less than 2.3 cm or greater than 2.5 cm}: Correct
