The intersection of two events is the set of outcomes that are common to both events. In this case, you spun the following colors: {purple, yellow, blue, purple, green}, and your friend spun the colors: {red, purple, orange, red, blue}.
To find the intersection, we look for colors that appear in both sets.
Your results: {purple, yellow, blue, green}
Your friend's results: {red, purple, orange, blue}
The colors that are common to both sets are:
- purple
- blue
So, the intersection of the two events is {purple, blue}.
