Math Problem Statement

Use the given information to find the number of elements in each of the regions labeled R1 through R5. n(A) = 29, n(B) = 33, n(C) = 39, n(A ∩ B) = 15, n(U) = 79

Solution

We are tasked with finding the number of elements in each of the five regions R1,R2,R3,R4,R5R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4, R_5 using the provided set information.

Here are the known values:

  • n(A)=29n(A) = 29 (number of elements in set AA),
  • n(B)=33n(B) = 33 (number of elements in set BB),
  • n(C)=39n(C) = 39 (number of elements in set CC),
  • n(AB)=15n(A \cap B) = 15 (number of elements common to both AA and BB),
  • n(U)=79n(U) = 79 (the total number of elements in the universal set UU).

To clarify, we are dealing with three overlapping sets AA, BB, and CC, where:

  • R1R_1: elements in AA only,
  • R2R_2: elements in ABA \cap B (common to both AA and BB but not in CC),
  • R3R_3: elements in BB only,
  • R4R_4: elements in CC,
  • R5R_5: elements outside of AA, BB, and CC.

We will now proceed to find these values step by step.

  1. n(AB)n(A \cup B): First, 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) Substitute the given values: n(AB)=29+3315=47n(A \cup B) = 29 + 33 - 15 = 47 So, there are 47 elements in either AA, BB, or both.

  2. n(C)n(C): There are 39 elements in set CC, but we are also interested in the overlap with ABA \cup B. However, no information is provided for the overlap of CC with AA or BB directly. Since the total number of elements in the universal set UU is given as 79, and we know the number of elements in ABA \cup B, we can find R5R_5.

  3. n(R5)n(R_5): This is the number of elements outside AA, BB, and CC, i.e., elements in the universal set UU but not in any of the sets AA, BB, or CC: n(R5)=n(U)n(ABC)n(R_5) = n(U) - n(A \cup B \cup C) At this point, we would need the additional information of how CC overlaps with AA and BB to complete the solution fully.

Would you like me to proceed further with assumptions or clarify any points?
