Math Problem Statement

In the Venn diagram below, B and D are events in the sample space S. Shade \( \overline{B} \cap D \) on the Venn diagram.

Solution

To shade BD\overline{B} \cap D on the Venn diagram:

  1. Understand BD\overline{B} \cap D:

    • B\overline{B}: This represents the region outside of set BB.
    • DD: This represents the region inside set DD.
    • BD\overline{B} \cap D: This is the overlap between the region outside BB and inside DD.
  2. Determine the area to shade:

    • Look for the part of circle DD that does not overlap with circle BB.
  3. Shade the appropriate area:

    • Shade only the part of circle DD that is outside circle BB, as that represents BD\overline{B} \cap D.
