The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that a randomly chosen member \( x \) from the set \( S \) belongs to the set \( A \cap \bar{C} \). Let's break down the steps to find this probability. ### Step 1: Define the Sets 1. **Sample Space \( S \)**: This is the set of integers from 1 to 30. \[ S = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 30\} \] The total number of elements in \( S \) is \( n(S) = 30 \). 2. **Set \( A \)**: This set contains multiples of 7 within \( S \). \[ A = \{7, 14, 21, 28\} \] The number of elements in \( A \) is \( n(A) = 4 \). 3. **Set \( B \)**: This set contains multiples of 5 within \( S \). \[ B = \{5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30\} \] The number of elements in \( B \) is \( n(B) = 6 \). 4. **Set \( C \)**: This set contains multiples of 3 within \( S \). \[ C = \{3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30\} \] The number of elements in \( C \) is \( n(C) = 10 \). ### Step 2: Find \( A \cap C \) Next, we need to find the intersection of sets \( A \) and \( C \) (i.e., \( A \cap C \)), which consists of elements that are both multiples of 7 and multiples of 3. - The multiples of 7 in \( A \): \( 7, 14, 21, 28 \) - The multiples of 3 in \( C \): \( 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 \) The common element in both sets is: \[ A \cap C = \{21\} \] Thus, \( n(A \cap C) = 1 \). ### Step 3: Find \( A \cap \bar{C} \) Now, we need to find \( A \cap \bar{C} \). The set \( \bar{C} \) contains all elements in \( S \) that are not in \( C \). - Elements in \( \bar{C} \): All elements in \( S \) except those in \( C \). To find \( A \cap \bar{C} \), we need to exclude the elements of \( A \) that are also in \( C \). From \( A = \{7, 14, 21, 28\} \) and \( A \cap C = \{21\} \), we find: \[ A \cap \bar{C} = A - (A \cap C) = \{7, 14, 28\} \] Thus, \( n(A \cap \bar{C}) = 3 \). ### Step 4: Calculate the Probability The probability that a randomly chosen member \( x \) from \( S \) belongs to \( A \cap \bar{C} \) is given by: \[ P(A \cap \bar{C}) = \frac{n(A \cap \bar{C})}{n(S)} = \frac{3}{30} = \frac{1}{10} \] ### Final Answer The probability that \( x \) is a member of \( A \cap \bar{C} \) is: \[ \frac{1}{10} \]
