Two dice are thrown. The events $A, B$ and $C$ are as follows:

$A:$ getting an even number on the first die.

$B:$ getting an odd number on the first die.

$C:$ getting the sum of the numbers on the dice $\leq 5$

Describe the events $A^{\prime }.$

When two dice are thrown, the sample space is given by

$s =\{(x, y): x, y=1,2,3,4,5,6\}$
$=\left\{\begin{array}{l}(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6) \\ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6) \\ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\end{array}\right]$

Accordingly,

$A =\left\{\begin{array}{l}(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3) \\ (4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\end{array}\right\}$

$B =\left\{\begin{array}{l}(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3) \\ (3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)\end{array}\right\}$

$C=\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(4,1)\}$

$A^{\prime}=\left\{\begin{array}{l}(1,1),(1,2)(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3), \\ (3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)\end{array}\right\}=B$
