Calculate the number of elements belonging to the sets described below: n(A)=13 n(A∩B)=8 n(A∪B)=20 Determine n(B)

oops wrote that wrong

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the intersection has 8 so B has at least 8 and at most 20 because the union is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not exactly 100% sure about this

nice drawing, could you explain how you came up with it? @Yaniv

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n(b) = 12 then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leaving 5 in A only because n(A) = 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is b 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me start over. A intersect B = 8. There fore you place 8 in the center. The number of elements in A= 13 so you put 5 in A only as 8 + 5 =13. There are 20 elements that make up the entirety of A and B (A union B) so u just subtract 13 from 20 and u have your remaining 7.

yes b is = to 15
