Study Notes
Venn Diagrams Overview
- John Venn introduced Venn diagrams in 1880, inspired by concepts from Leonhard Euler.
- Venn diagrams use overlapping circles to visually represent the interaction between different sets, with a containing box indicating the universal set.
Set Operations Illustrated by Venn Diagrams
- Union (A ∪ B): Represents all elements in either set A or set B.
- Intersection (A ∩ B): Contains only the elements common to both set A and set B, found in the overlap of circles.
- Complement (Ac): Includes all elements not in set A.
- Intersection of Complement (Ac ∩ B): Contains elements in set B that are not part of set A.
Complex Set Operations
- To illustrate (H ∩ F)c ∩ W:
- First determine the intersection H ∩ F.
- Then find all elements in set W that are not included in H ∩ F.
Cardinality of Sets
- Cardinality refers to the number of elements within a set, denoted as |A| or n(A).
- Example: Given set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and B = {2, 4, 6, 8}.
- Cardinality of B is 4 (elements: 2, 4, 6, 8).
- Cardinality of A ∪ B is 7 (combined unique elements).
- Cardinality of A ∩ B is 3 (common elements: 2, 4, 6).
Practical Applications of Cardinality
- Example of cardinality for set P: names of the months in English.
- P has a cardinality of 12 since there are 12 months.
Real-World Survey Example
- A survey of 200 individuals asked about morning beverage preferences with three options:
- Tea only: 20 respondents
- Coffee only: 80 respondents
- Both tea and coffee: 40 respondents
- Calculating total tea drinkers involves combining those who drink tea only with those who drink both.
- Determining how many drink neither involves subtracting all tea and coffee drinkers from the total surveyed.
