Answer

a)\[(F\cap R\cap V)=\{E\}\] b)\[({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})=\{T,S\}\] c)\[(F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)=\{A,I\}\]

Work Step by Step

(a) Suppose that each of the 12 letters in the word "TESSELLATION" is written on a chip. Let F be the letters in the first half of alphabet that means letters between alphabets A to M and then the outcomes of event F are: $F=\{A,E,I,L\}$ Let R be the letters that are repeated and then the outcomes of event R are: \[R=\{T,E,S,L\}\] Let V be the letters that are vowels and then the outcomes of event V are: \[V=\{A,E,I,O\}\] We have find \[(F\cap R\cap V)\]as: \[\begin{align} & (F\cap R\cap V)=\{(A,E,I,L)\cap (T,E,S,L)\cap (A,E,I,O)\} \\ & (F\cap R\cap V)=\{E\} \\ \end{align}\] Therefore, there is only one letter ā€˜Eā€™ in the event \[(F\cap R\cap V)\]. (b) We are given that, $F=\{A,E,I,L\}$ \[R=\{T,E,S,L\}\] \[V=\{A,E,I,O\}\] We have find \[({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})\] so we have find first \[{{F}^{C}}\] and \[{{V}^{C}}\], \[{{F}^{C}}=\{T,S,O,N\}\] \[{{V}^{C}}=\{T,S,L,N\}\] So, we get \[({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})\]: \[\begin{align} & ({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})=\{(T,S,O,N)\cap (T,E,S,L)\cap (T,S,L,N)\} \\ & ({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})=\{T,S\} \\ \end{align}\] Therefore, the event \[({{F}^{C}}\cap R\cap {{V}^{C}})=\{T,S\}\]. (c) We are given that, $F=\{A,E,I,L\}$ \[R=\{T,E,S,L\}\] \[V=\{A,E,I,O\}\] We have find \[(F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)\] so we have find first \[{{R}^{C}}\], \[{{R}^{C}}=\{A,I,O,N\}\] So, we get the event \[(F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)\]: \[\begin{align} & (F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)=\{(A,E,I,L)\cap (A,I,O,N)\cap (A,E,I,O)\} \\ & (F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)=\{A,I\} \\ \end{align}\] Therefore, the event \[(F\cap {{R}^{C}}\cap V)=\{A,I\}\].
