Questions and Answers

Find the power set of set A = { 1, 2, 3 } and the number of subsets of A.

The power set of set A, denoted by P(A), is the set of all subsets of A. The power set of A is given by P(A) = { {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3} }. So, the number of subsets of A, denoted by n(A), is 8.

Calculate the symmetric difference between sets P = { 2, 3, 5, 6, 11 } and Q = { 1, 3, 5, 11 }.

The symmetric difference between sets P and Q, denoted by P Δ Q, is the set of elements that are in P or Q but not in both. The symmetric difference P Δ Q is given by P Δ Q = {1, 2, 6}.

Verify De Morgan’s laws for set difference using the sets A = { -2, 0, 1, 3, 5 }, B = { -1, 0, 2, 5, 6 }, and C = { -1, 2, 5, 6, 7 }.

De Morgan’s laws for set difference state that (A - B) U (A - C) = A - (B ∩ C) and (A ∩ B) - C = (A - C) ∪ (B - C). By using the given sets, we can verify these laws to be true.

Verify De Morgan’s laws of set complementation using the sets U = { 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 }, A = { 7, 8, 11, 12 }, and B = { 4, 8, 12, 15 }.

<p>De Morgan’s laws of set complementation state that (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’ and (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’. By using the given sets, we can verify these laws to be true.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Find the number of students who speak all three languages among 100 students, given the language statistics.

<p>Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the number of students who speak all three languages is given by n(Tamil ∩ English ∩ French) = n(Tamil) + n(English) + n(French) - n(Tamil ∩ English) - n(English ∩ French) - n(Tamil ∩ French) + n(Tamil ∩ English ∩ French). Substituting the given values, we can calculate the number of students who speak all three languages.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Power Set and Subsets

  • Power set of A = {1, 2, 3} is the set of all subsets of A.
  • Power set P(A) includes: {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}.
  • The number of subsets of a set with n elements is calculated as 2^n.
  • For set A with 3 elements, the number of subsets is 2^3 = 8.

Symmetric Difference of Sets

  • Symmetric difference between sets P = {2, 3, 5, 6, 11} and Q = {1, 3, 5, 11}.
  • Symmetric difference includes elements that are in either set but not in both: P Δ Q.
  • Result: {1, 2, 6}.

De Morgan's Laws for Set Difference

  • Verify De Morgan’s laws using sets A = {-2, 0, 1, 3, 5}, B = {-1, 0, 2, 5, 6}, and C = {-1, 2, 5, 6, 7}.
  • The laws state: (A ∩ B') = A - (A ∩ B) and (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B'.
  • Evaluate both sides to confirm equality for provided sets.

De Morgan's Laws of Set Complementation

  • Apply De Morgan’s laws using universal set U = {4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16}, A = {7, 8, 11, 12}, B = {4, 8, 12, 15}.
  • De Morgan’s states: (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B' and (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B'.
  • Check the validity for both sides to ensure correctness using complements.

Language Statistics Among Students

  • A scenario involving 100 students speaking three languages.
  • Relevant data needed for calculation: number of students speaking each language and overlaps.
  • Use provided data to calculate the number of students speaking all three languages.
