Math Problem Statement

If n(A) = 110, n(B) = 105, and n(A ∪ B) = 195, what is n(A ∩ B)?

Solution

To find n(AB)n(A \cap B), we use the formula for the union of two sets:

n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B)

We are given the following values:

  • n(A)=110n(A) = 110
  • n(B)=105n(B) = 105
  • n(AB)=195n(A \cup B) = 195

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

195=110+105n(AB)195 = 110 + 105 - n(A \cap B)

Simplify the equation:

195=215n(AB)195 = 215 - n(A \cap B)

Solve for n(AB)n(A \cap B):

n(AB)=215195=20n(A \cap B) = 215 - 195 = 20

Thus, n(AB)=20n(A \cap B) = 20.
