Intersection

Sometimes there will be no intersection at all. In that case we say the answer is the "empty set" or the "null set" {}

Ask yourself, Is there anyone in both sets? Can you be between the ages of 30 and 35 AND ALSO 45 years old? No, so the answer is that nobody is in both sets, therefore the answer is the empty set, {}.
