If n (A) = 7, n (B) = 5, n (A-B) = 3, then
n(AUB) is
Answers
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
n(A) - n(A-B) =n(A intersection B)
n(AUB)=n(A) + n(B) - n(A intersection B)
= n(A) + n(B)-[n(A) - n(A-B)]
=n(B)+n(A-B)
=5+3
=8
Concept
A set is a clearly defined group of things in mathematics. Set names and symbols begin with a capital letter. According to set theory, a set's constituent parts can be anything, including humans, alphabetic letters, numbers, shapes, variables, etc. Algebra, statistics, and probability all use sets in some capacity.
Given
n(A) = 7
n(B) = 5
n(A₋B) = 3
Find
from the following values derive n(A∪B)
Solution
we know that n(A∩B) = n(A) ₋ n(A₋B)
and n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
hence substitute the given values.
n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) ₋ [ n(A) ₋ n(A₋B)]
n(A U B) = 7 + 5 ₋ [ 7 ₋ 3]
n(A U B) = 12 ₋4
n(A U B) = 8
hence we get the value of n(A U B) as 8.
