Eight identical slips of paper, each containing one number from one to eight, inclusive, are mixed up inside a bag. Subset A of the sample space represents the complement of the event in which the number 6 is drawn from the bag.

Which shows subset A?

A = {6}

A = {1, 3, 5, 7}

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

I will assume that it is a single slip then subset A = {1,2,3,4,5,7,8} (i. e. "1 is drawn", "2 is drawn" etc.)

which is the complement of A^c = {6} ("6 is drawn")

The answer is A = {1,2,3,4,5,7,8}
