Math Problem Statement

n(A) = 29, n(B) = 37, n(C) = 37, n(A ∩ B) = 17, n(U) = 77

Solution

The provided symbols indicate the cardinalities (sizes) of sets AA, BB, CC, their intersections, and the universal set UU. However, there is missing information about CC's interaction with other sets. Let's address what we can solve with the provided information:

Given:

  • n(A)=29n(A) = 29 (Number of elements in set AA)
  • n(B)=37n(B) = 37 (Number of elements in set BB)
  • n(C)=37n(C) = 37 (Number of elements in set CC)
  • n(AB)=17n(A \cap B) = 17 (Number of elements in both sets AA and BB)
  • n(U)=77n(U) = 77 (Total number of elements in the universal set UU)

Let's compute n(AB)n(A \cup B):

Using the inclusion-exclusion principle: n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) Substitute the values: n(AB)=29+3717=49n(A \cup B) = 29 + 37 - 17 = 49 This means the number of elements in the union of sets AA and BB is 49.

What's still unknown:

  1. The interaction of set CC with sets AA and BB (i.e., intersections ACA \cap C, BCB \cap C, or ABCA \cap B \cap C) is not given. Without this, we can't fully analyze the relationships between all three sets.

Questions:

  1. Do you have information about intersections involving set CC?
  2. Do sets AA and BB have any interaction with set CC?
  3. Would you like to calculate specific regions of a Venn diagram for these sets?
  4. Do you need to find how many elements belong exclusively to each set?
  5. Would you like to visualize the solution using a Venn diagram?

Tip: When working with multiple sets, the inclusion-exclusion principle helps account for overlapping elements to avoid double-counting.
