- Example 2. Given that Set A = {1, 2, 3, 4}; Set B = {2, 4, 6, 8}; Set C= {2, 3, 5, 8},
(*same questions as stated above). Illustrate your answers.
Answers:
A B = {1,∩2, 3, 4, 6, 8} ∩ ∩
B C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}
A C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8}
A ∩ B = {2, 4}
B ∩ C = {2, 8}
A ∩ C = {2, 3}
A ∩ B ∩ C = {2}
∩A’ = {5, 6, 8}
∩B’ = {1, 3, 5}
∩C’ = { 1, 4, 6}
Introduce the Venn Diagram using the previous example.
Venn Diagram, introduced by John Venn, is a diagram representing mathematical
or logical sets pictorially as circles or closed curves within an enclosing rectangle
(the universal set), common elements of the sets being represented by the areas
of overlap among the circles.
Example
Example 3. Rey have 42 friends. 23 of them are good in Math. 21 are handsome.
18 were neither good in Math nor handsome. How many friends that Rey have
that is good in Math and is also Handsome?
Solution:
Let, set A – Rey’s friends that are good in Math;
set B – Rey’s friends that are handsome; and
A∩B – Rey’s friends that is both good in Math and handsome.
Let x be A∩B. Therefore,
23 – x are Rey’s friend that is only A B
good in math and 21 – x are only
handsome.
Calculation: 23 – x x 21 – x
Finding x, that is
(23 – x) + x + (21 – x) + 18 = 42
62 – x = 42 18
x = 62 – 42
x = 20
Therefore, Rey have 20 friends that is both good in math and handsome.
Example 4. A group of 64 students were surveyed, and it was found that each of
the students surveyed liked at least one of the following three fruits: apples,
bananas, and oranges.
34 liked apples.
30 liked bananas.
33 liked oranges.
11 liked apples and bananas.
15 liked bananas and oranges.
17 liked apples and oranges.
9 liked all three of the fruits.
Solution:
Let, set A be the number of students liked apples;
set B be the number of students liked bananas; and
set C be the number of students liked oranges.
Step 1. Step 2.
Step 3.
Practice Directions: With the same group, each group have 20 points. The teacher will call
for a number assigned to each member of the group. That particular person will
be their representative to answer the question and win the game. They will agree
on how many points they want to bet (at least 5 points) for each round in a
limited time. The group who gained more points win the game.
1. 150 college freshmen were interviewed 85 were registered for a Math class.
70 were registered for an English class. 50 were registered for both Math and
English class. How many signed up for a Math class only?
Solution:
Let, Set A be Math class and Set B be English class.
2. To the same given to question number 1, how many signed up for Math or
English?
A B
Solution:
Let x be the number signed up for
math or English. That is A B= 35 50 20
35 + 50 + 20
= 105
3. Given: A={set of all natural numbers} ; B={set of all even numbers} ; C={set of
∩ numbers}. What is A∩B∩C?
all prime
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4,…}
B = {2, 4, 6, 8,…}
C = {1, 2, 3, 5,…}
A∩B∩C = { 2 }
