Math Problem Statement

Draw a Venn diagram and use the given information to fill in the number of elements for each region. n(A') = 31, n(B) = 30, n(A' U B') = 41, n(A ∩ B) = 16.

Solution

To solve this problem, we will interpret the provided data and use it to fill in the Venn diagram.

The question provides the following information:

  • n(A)=31n(A') = 31: This represents the number of elements outside set AA.
  • n(B)=30n(B) = 30: This represents the number of elements in set BB.
  • n(AB)=41n(A' \cup B') = 41: This represents the number of elements that are neither in set AA nor in set BB.
  • n(AB)=16n(A \cap B) = 16: This represents the number of elements in both sets AA and BB (the intersection).

Venn Diagram Setup

We will label the regions of the Venn diagram as follows:

  • Region 1: Outside both sets AA and BB (this represents ABA' \cap B').
  • Region 2: Inside AA but not in BB (this represents ABA \cap B').
  • Region 3: Inside both AA and BB (this represents ABA \cap B).
  • Region 4: Inside BB but not in AA (this represents BAB \cap A').

Step-by-Step Calculation

Step 1: Find the number of elements in Region 1.

Since n(AB)=41n(A' \cup B') = 41, the number of elements in Region 1 is given directly as 41. This represents the number of elements outside both sets AA and BB.

Step 2: Find the number of elements in Region 3.

It is given that n(AB)=16n(A \cap B) = 16, so Region 3 contains 16 elements.

Step 3: Find the number of elements in set BB but not in AA (Region 4).

The total number of elements in BB is 30. Out of these 30 elements, 16 are also in AA (Region 3). Therefore, the number of elements in Region 4 is: n(BA)=3016=14.n(B \cap A') = 30 - 16 = 14.

Step 4: Find the number of elements in set AA but not in BB (Region 2).

To find the number of elements in AA, we use the fact that the number of elements outside set AA (i.e., n(A)n(A')) is 31. The total number of elements in the universal set is the sum of the elements in all four regions. Therefore: n(U)=n(A)+n(AB)+n(AB)+n(BA)=31+x+16+14.n(U) = n(A') + n(A \cap B') + n(A \cap B) + n(B \cap A') = 31 + x + 16 + 14. We also know that n(AB)=41n(A' \cup B') = 41, meaning the total number of elements in Region 1 is 41.

Finally, we solve for xx (the number of elements in Region 2): [ n(U) = 41.
