PROBLEM
Use the given information to determine the number of elements in each of the four disjoint subsets in the following Venn diagram.
n(A)=30n(B)=50n(A∪B)=70n(U)=200 a. n(A∩B′)= □
STEP 1
1. n(A) represents the number of elements in set A.
2. n(B) represents the number of elements in set B.
3. n(A∪B) represents the number of elements in the union of sets A and B.
4. n(U) represents the total number of elements in the universal set U.
5. n(A∩B′) represents the number of elements in set A that are not in set B.
STEP 2
1. Use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find n(A∩B).
2. Calculate n(A∩B′).
STEP 3
Use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find n(A∩B):
n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B) Substitute the given values:
70=30+50−n(A∩B) Solve for n(A∩B):
70=80−n(A∩B) n(A∩B)=80−70 n(A∩B)=10
SOLUTION
Calculate n(A∩B′):
n(A∩B′)=n(A)−n(A∩B) Substitute the known values:
n(A∩B′)=30−10 n(A∩B′)=20 The number of elements in A∩B′ is:
20
