New Authors | Established Authors | Total | |
---|---|---|---|
Successful | 20 | 10 | 30 |
Unsuccessful | 10 | 2 | 12 |
Total | 30 | 12 | 42 |
Consider the following events: S: an author is successful; U: an author is unsuccessful; N: an author is new; and E: an author is established.
Describe the events S ∩ N and S ∪ N in words.
S ∩ N is the event that an author is .
S ∪ N is the event that an author is .
Use the table to compute n(S ∩ N) and n(S ∪ N).
n(S ∩ N)=n(S ∪ N)=
