Math Problem Statement

Use the given information to fill in the number of elements for each region in the Venn diagram. n(A U B) = 33, n(A n B) = 8, n(A) = 24, and n(A' U B) = 40 The number of elements in region x is the number of elements in region y is , the number of el the number of elements in region z is (Type whole numbers.) and the number of elements in region w is

Solution

To solve this problem, let's analyze the Venn diagram step-by-step using the given information:

  1. Given Information:

    • n(AB)=33n(A \cup B) = 33: This is the number of elements in the union of sets AA and BB.
    • n(AB)=8n(A \cap B) = 8: This is the number of elements in the intersection of sets AA and BB.
    • n(A)=24n(A) = 24: This is the total number of elements in set AA.
    • n(AB)=40n(A' \cup B) = 40: This is the number of elements in the union of the complement of set AA and set BB.
  2. Determine Elements in Each Region:

    Let's denote the regions as follows for the Venn diagram with two sets AA and BB:

    • Region X: Elements in AA only (i.e., ABA - B).
    • Region Y: Elements in both AA and BB (i.e., ABA \cap B).
    • Region Z: Elements in BB only (i.e., BAB - A).
    • Region W: Elements in neither AA nor BB (i.e., ABA' \cap B').
  3. Calculate Elements in Each Region:

    • Region Y (Intersection of AA and BB): n(Y)=n(AB)=8n(Y) = n(A \cap B) = 8

    • Region X (Only in AA): n(X)=n(A)n(AB)=248=16n(X) = n(A) - n(A \cap B) = 24 - 8 = 16

    • Region Z (Only in BB): To find n(Z)n(Z), we use the formula for the union: n(AB)=n(A)+n(B)n(AB)n(A \cup B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A \cap B) Solving for n(B)n(B): 33=24+n(B)8    n(B)=1733 = 24 + n(B) - 8 \implies n(B) = 17 Therefore, n(Z)n(Z) is: n(Z)=n(B)n(AB)=178=9n(Z) = n(B) - n(A \cap B) = 17 - 8 = 9

    • Region W (Neither AA nor BB): Using n(AB)n(A' \cup B): n(AB)=n(U)n(AB)n(A' \cup B) = n(U) - n(A \cap B') Let's find n(AB)n(A \cap B'). We know that AA' is the complement of AA, so we look at the number of elements outside of
