Math Problem Statement

The Venn diagram here shows the cardinality of each set. Use this to find the cardinality of each given set.

Solution

Let's analyze the Venn diagram and the questions in your quiz about sets.

Venn Diagram:

  • Three sets: AA (Blue), BB (Green), and CC (Red).
  • The cardinality (number of elements) of each intersection is provided within the Venn diagram.

From the Venn diagram, we can see the following cardinalities:

  • n(ABC)=3n(A \cap B \cap C) = 3 (the intersection of all three sets).
  • n(AB)=7n(A \cap B) = 7 (including the 33 that belongs to all three sets, so 73=47 - 3 = 4 in ABA \cap B but not in CC).
  • n(AC)=6n(A \cap C) = 6 (the region where AA and CC overlap, but not BB, this includes the central intersection as well).
  • n(BC)=8n(B \cap C) = 8 (including the 3 in the middle, leaving 5 elements that are in both BB and CC, but not AA).

Now, let's address the specific questions in the quiz:

  1. n(A)n(A): To find n(A)n(A), we sum all regions that belong to set AA:

    • 88 (only in AA),
    • 77 (overlap between AA and BB),
    • 66 (overlap between AA and CC),
    • 33 (overlap between AA, BB, and CC).

    So, n(A)=8+4+3+3=20n(A) = 8 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 20.

  2. n(AC)n(A \cap C): This is the intersection of sets AA and CC, including the overlap with BB:

    • 66 (only ACA \cap C),
    • 33 (intersection of all three sets).

    So, n(AC)=6+3=9n(A \cap C) = 6 + 3 = 9.

  3. n(ABCc)n(A \cap B \cap C^c): This asks for the intersection of AA and BB, but excluding CC (the complement of CC). From the diagram:

    • The region that is in ABA \cap B but not in CC is the area with 44 elements (since the middle 33 elements overlap with CC).

    So, n(ABCc)=4n(A \cap B \cap C^c) = 4.

Tip:

When working with Venn diagrams and set cardinalities, always break the intersections down carefully, especially for overlapping regions, to avoid double-counting elements.
