[3.03] The zip code of a location consists of five digits chosen from the set D shown below. D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} The set M represents the digits in one of the zip codes for Miami. M = {3, 3, 1, 9, 0} The set C represents the digits in one of the zip codes for Cooper City. C = {3, 3, 3, 3, 0} How many prime numbers are in the set complement of M union C?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

complement means "not in" M union C means you combine numbers from both sets

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

so how many prime numbers are not in either set M or set C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

numbers that do not have any divisible factors...they must be odd
