OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi, are you still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you trying to do the union of sets P and Q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No just trying to find the correct notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean the set notation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, P U Q={a,c,e,k,n,p,s}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the intersection of sets P and Q are the elements in the middle that the two sets have in common. The curly brackets would still indicate the set, but the elements would be a roster or list of the middle section. Is this helpful?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what would be my answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looking at the above entries, it looks like you want \[P \cup Q\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, it is the set of elements in both circles together. see the first entry for which i wrote P U Q={a,c,e,k,n,p,s}. this is proper notation for this particular set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

T.Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have any other questions i can answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i assume this is satisfactory. i hope you have a lovely day. take care

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do have other questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Given the following sets, select the statement below that is NOT true. A = {l, a, t, e, r}, B = {l, a, t, e}, C = {t, a, l, e}, D = {e, a, t}, E = {t, e, a}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

feel free to fire away. I will answer if it is within my scope of knowledge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C ⊂ D E ⊆ A D ⊆ C C ⊆ B D ⊂ A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, do you know the meaning of a proper subset?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okeedokee. technically, any subset of a given set, including the set itself, is a subset. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Understood

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, that said, a proper subset is any subset that is not contain every element of the given set. Again, are you ok with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does*, not is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The my ans is going to be D ⊂ A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. Is every element of set D an element of the set A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, was copying things down so i dont have to keep scrolling up and down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer is absolutely correct. Nicely done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

T.Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every element in D is an element of A where A is the bigger set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh alrighty

A car dealership interviewed every driver who came onto their lot on Tuesday. This produced the following results: there were 42 people who owned trucks and 87 people who owned cars. If 14 people owned both a truck and a car and 5 people owned neither, how many people were interviewed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my pleasure. Any other questions i can help u with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like some tricksies here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okeedokee. 42 people own trucks. Can you draw a circle for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1347732897803:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice. now draw an overlapping circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1347732954736:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very nice. now what would the number be in the overlapping part, where the intersection of the two circles would represent the number of people who own a truck and a car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didnt 5 own neither?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we want how many owned both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

excellent. that goes in the overlapping portion of the two circles. it is ok to draw it on paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now call the left circle set C and the right circle set T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many total members in set C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the care owners.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice. now, of those, how many also own trucks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, how many drivers just own cars?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, 87 own cars, and of those, 14 own trucks. so, how many drivers own just cars. I know this gets confusing sometimes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just need to find out how many people were interviewed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. but we need to know which people share cars and trucks so we dont double count them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it Sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we have 73 people who own just cars and we have 42 who own trucks and 5 who owned neither. how many people were interviewed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks good to me. thanks for hanging in. I hope this helps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)) well, let's see whatchya got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im sorry lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An electronics store surveyed every 6th customer who came into the store for a week. Of the 320 people who responded, 124 people watched movies on VHS tapes. 228 people watched movies on DVDs. 47 people watched movies both on VHS tapes and DVDs. Create a Venn diagram to reflect the above data, label your diagram clearly and submit to the Dropbox. Use your diagram to answer the following questions here. i. Of those surveyed, how many watched only VHS tapes? ii. Of those surveyed, how many watched only DVDs? iii. Of those surveyed, how many watched VHS tapes or DVDs, but not both? iv. Of those surveyed, how many watched VHS tapes or DVDs, or both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

124=VHS, 228=DVD's and 47 both. so let's look at i. how many watched just VHS tapes. Subtract the number who saw both from the number who watched VHS. tell me what you get and draw two overlapping circles for the Venn diagram. k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 77

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soo 77 saw only vhs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. now you re getting it. yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many saw just DVD's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

181

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolutely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, now your drawing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iii. Of those surveyed, how many watched VHS tapes or DVDs, but not both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you label your venn diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That I don't kno lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

label the left circle VHS and the right circle DVD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would you label the middle or intersection of the two circles?
