You're on a roll — let's solve these Venn diagram questions.
Given:
n(U)=100
n(A)=40
n(B)=30
n(A∩B)=10
a) Find n(A∪B)
Step 1: Use the formula for the union of two sets.
n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)
Step 2: Substitute the given values.
n(A∪B)=40+30−10
n(A∪B)=70−10
n(A∪B)=60
The number of elements in A∪B is 60.
b) Find n(Aonly)
Step 1: To find elements in A only, subtract the intersection from n(A).
n(Aonly)=n(A)−n(A∩B)
Step 2: Substitute the given values.
n(Aonly)=40−10
n(Aonly)=30
The number of elements in A only is 30.
c) Find n(Bonly)
Step 1: To find elements in B only, subtract the intersection from n(B).
n(Bonly)=n(B)−n(A∩B)
Step 2: Substitute the given values.
n(Bonly)=30−10
n(Bonly)=20
The number of elements in B only is 20.
d) Find n(A∪B)′
Step 1: The complement of A∪B is found by subtracting n(A∪B) from the total number of elements in the universal set n(U).
n(A∪B)′=n(U)−n(A∪B)
Step 2: Substitute the values. We found n(A∪B)=60 in part (a).
n(A∪B)′=100−60
n(A∪B)′=40
The number of elements in (A∪B)′ is 40.
e) Find n(A′∩B′)
Step 1: Apply De Morgan's Law, which states that A′∩B′=(A∪B)′.
n(A′∩B′)=n((A∪B)′)
Step 2: This is the same value calculated in part (d).
n(A′∩B′)=40
The number of elements in A′∩B′ is 40.
