Date due: August 23,2017

I. Let =set of all real numbers, =index set. Identify the generalized union and
intersection of the following:

1. = {1,2,3}, A1=[0,1], A2=[1,2], A3= [1,3]

2. = {1,2,3,}, A = [0, 1 + 2]
3. = {1,2,3,}, A = (5 - 1 , 7 - 1 )
4. = {1,2,3,}, A = [5 + 1 , 7 + 1 ]
5. = (0,1), A = (- 1 , )

II. Suppose a newly-married couple plans to have 5 children.

Define = {(1,2,3,4,5) : i = sex of the ith child {G,B}, i = 1,2,,5}

(For example: (G,B,G,B,G) represents the outcome where the 1st, 3rd, and 5th children
are girls while the 2nd and 4th children are boys)

Let Bi = set of elements in where the ith child is a boy, i= 1,2,,5

Express the following sets as a composition of the Bis.

1. A = the set containing elements of where the 1st and 2nd children are girls while
the last 3 children are boys
2. B = the set containing elements of where the 1st child is a boy, the 2nd child is a
girl and the 3rd child is a boy
3. C = the set containing elements of where there is at least one girl
4. D=the set containing elements of where only the 1st child is a girl
5. E = the set containing elements of where there are exactly 4 boys

III. TRUE OR FALSE. Write True if the statement is always true; otherwise, write
False.
1. A = {{1,3},{4,5,2},{6}} is a partition of A={1,2,3,4,5,6}.
2. If ={1,2,3,4} then the class A = {, , {1}, {1,2}, {2,3,4}, {3,4}} is a field.
3. If ={1,2,3,4,5,6} and A = {,, , {1,2}, {1,2,3}, {3,4,5,6}, {4,5,6}} then A is a field.
4. If ={1,2,3,4,5,6} and A = {,, , {1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}, {3,4,5,6}, {1,2,5,6}, {1,2,3,4}}
then A is a field.
5. A = {, , A, B, Ac, Bc, AB, AB, (AB)c, (AB)c } is a field for any sets A and B.
