Math Problem Statement
Which expression represents the intersection of A and B?
Solution
The question asks which expression represents the intersection of sets and . The intersection of two sets and is denoted by .
Analysis of the Options:
- : This represents the union of the complements of and , which is the complement of by De Morgan's laws, not the intersection.
- : This represents the probability of the intersection of and , not the intersection itself.
- : This represents the union of sets and , which is the set of elements in either or , not just those in both.
- : This correctly represents the intersection of sets and , which is the set of elements that are in both and .
Conclusion:
The correct answer is the last option, .
