Summary: Want to know exactly what an exhaustive event is. A little bit confused about "one of them will occur during the conduct of an experiment".
Hi there, I open this thread because I am a little bit confused about what an 'exhaustive event' is. I have been reading some websites and watching a video in youtube and I get some idea, but I don't fully understand the concept at 100%. So I am going to explain what I understand at this moment.
Given a sample space (for example, a dice): S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
I get two subsets, for example:
A={1, 2, 3}
B={4, 5, 6}
So, A and B are exhaustive events because when I perform an experiment the event must belong to A or to B subset. Also, A and B are exhaustive events because if we put together A and B, the form a complete sample space.
Is my understanding right?
Thanks.
