An electrical engineer has on hand two boxes of resistors, with five resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box are labeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 ohms. The EE chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each. Let A be the event that the first resistor has a resistance greater than 10, let B be the event that the second resistor has a resistance less than 19, and let C be the event that the sum of the resistances is equal to 28. List the sample space for this experiment, and specify the subsets corresponding to the events A, B, and C. Ans:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that an  electrical engineer has on hand two boxes of resistors, with five resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box are labeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 ohms. The EE chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each

Sample space for selecting one resistor from first box

= {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

A = {11,12,13} (because >10)

Sample space for selecting one resistor from second  box

={18,19,20,21,22}

B={18}

Sample space for sum would be

{27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35}

C = {(9,19) , (10,18)}

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
