We use

,
for the number of elements in

In a box there are pieces of paper with the
numbers from 1 to 9 written on them. A piece of paper is drawn from the box andthe number on it is noted. Let
denote the sample space, let
denote the event 'drawing a prime number', and let
denote the event 'drawing an even
number'. Using appropriate notation, in how many ways is it possible to draw: i)any number? ii) a prime number? iii) an even number? iv) a number that is either
prime or even? v) a number that is both prime and even?
Drawing a prime number:
Drawing an even number:
The
union of
and
is the set of all elements in

The
intersection of

is the set of all elements in both

100 people were surveyed to find out which fast food chain (Nandos, Debonairs or Steers) they preferred. The following results were obtained:
50 liked Nandos
66 liked Debonairs
40 liked Steers
27 liked Nandos and Debonairs but not Steers
13 liked Debonairs and Steers but not Nandos
4 liked all three
94 liked at least one
How many people did not like any of the fast food chains?
How many people liked Nandos and Steers, but not Debonairs?
The number of people who liked Nandos and Debonairs is 27, so this is the intersection of these two events. The number of people who liked Debonairs and Steers is 13, so the intersection of Debonairs and Steers is 13. We are told that 4 people like all three options, and so this means that there are 4 people in the intersection of all three options. So we can work out that the number of people who like just Debonairs is
(This is simply the total number who like Debonairs minus the number of people who like Debonairs and Steers, or Debonairs and Nandos or all three).
We draw the following diagram to represent the data:
We are told that there were 100 people and that 94 liked at least one. So the number of people that liked none is:
. This is the answer to a).
We can redraw the part of the Venn diagram that is of interest:
Total people who like Nandos: 50
Of these 27 like both Nandos and Debonairs, and 4 people like all three options. So we find that the total number of people who just like Nandos is:
Total people who like Steers: 40
Of these 13 like both Steers and Debonairs, and 4 like all three options. So we find that the total number of people who like just Steers is:
Now use the identity
to find the number of people who like Nandos and Steers, but not Debonairs.
The Venn diagram with that represents all this information is given:
Which cellphone networks have you used or are you signed up for (e.g. Vodacom, Mtn or CellC)? Collect this information from your classmates as well. Then use the information to draw a Venn diagram (if you have more than three networks, then choose only the three most popular or draw Venn diagrams for all the combinations). Try to see if you can work out the number of people who use just one network, or the number of people who use all the networks.

Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
