Question

Suppose U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is the universal set and P = {1, 2, 3, 4}. What is P'? a) {5, 6, 7, 8} b) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} c) {1, 2, 3, 4} d) cannot be determined

Answer 1

To find,

P'=U-P :)

Answer 2

It is selection "a" because P' is the complement of P and when it is what is needed to make up the whole population in addition to "P".

Answer 3

So, P and P' together make up U

Answer 4

It's like for a basketball team, the complement of the 2 guards are the 2 forwards plus the center.
