All outcomes in the sample space that are not in event A can be described as:
A) event A corollary.
B) event A complement.
C) event A disjoint.
D) event A intersect.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The set of outcomes in the sample space that are not in event A is known as the complement of A, denoted as A'. Thus, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because a corollary is a theorem or proposition that follows from another one. Option C is incorrect because A and its complement A' are not disjoint (they have no elements in common). Option D is incorrect because the intersection of A with its complement A' is the empty set.
