Sam and Silvie go bowling. The following table shows how many total pins they knocked down in each of the 10 frames.

Sam 5 6 7 8 10 9 4 10 4 6
Silvie 8 5 7 5 2 9 10 4 5 9
If the sample space is all of the possible numbers of pins that can be knocked down in a single frame, which subset would be considered a complement of the set of pins that Sam and Silvie knocked down?

To determine the complement of the set of pins that Sam and Silvie knocked down in bowling, we first need to identify the possible total pins knocked down in a frame.

In bowling, a player can knock down between 0 and 10 pins in a single frame. Therefore, the sample space of possible pin counts is: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

Next, let’s find the total set of pins knocked down by both Sam and Silvie across their frames:

  • Sam's frames: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 9, 4, 10, 4, 6
  • Silvie's frames: 8, 5, 7, 5, 2, 9, 10, 4, 5, 9

The complete set of pins knocked down (combining both Sam and Silvie) is: {2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} (the values 0, 1, 3 are not included).

The complement of this set would be those elements in the sample space {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} that are not in the set of pins knocked down by Sam and Silvie.

Thus, the complement set from the sample space is: {0, 1, 3}

So the correct response is: {0, 1, 3}.
