Set and Venn Diagram, Solved word problems on Venn diagram, set theory, Mathematics

 Venn diagram is a graphical representation of sets. Or a pictorial representation of sets represented by the closed figure is called a set diagram or Venn Diagram. Venn diagrams are used to illustrate various operations like union, intersection, and difference, the complement of a set. We can explain the relationship among sets through this in a more significant way.

Venn diagram consists of:

  • A universal set by using a rectangle.
  • A set or subset of a universal set is represented by using a circle or ovals.
Examples
Venn diagram for set union:



Venn diagram for set intersection:


Venn diagram for complement of set A:
Venn diagram for the complement of set B

Example:1
    In a survey of students, 50 students like Mathematics, 30 people like English, 10 people likes both           English and Mathematics. find the total number of students in the survey?
solution:
 Given data,
     Student who like Mathematics = n(M)=50
     Student who like English =n(E)= 30
     The student who like Mathematics and English       both=n(M∩E)=10
To find:
      Total numbers of students =n(M∪E)=?
Formula:
       n(M∪E)=n(M)+n(E)-n(M∩E)
By putting all values:
       n(M∪E)=50+30-10
       n(M∪E)=70
The total number of students present in the survey is 70
Example 2:
In a survey of 100 students it was found that 28 read newspaper A, 30 read newspaper B, 42 read newspaper C, 9 read A &B, 11 read A & C, 6 read B & C and 4 read all the newspaper. How many read newspaper C only?
solution:

Given data,

total number of students=100

n(A) =28

n(B)=30

n(C) =42

n(A⋂B) =9

n(A⋂C)= 11

n(B⋂C) =6

n(A⋂B⋂C) =4

by using venn diagram:

n(only C)= n(C) - n(A⋂C) -n(B⋂C) +n(A⋂B⋂C)

n(only C)=42–11- 6+4

n(only C)=29

the total number of students who read only newspaper is 29.

 Example 3:
A survey asks 200 people “What beverage do you drink in the morning”, and offers choices:
Tea only
Coffee only
Both coffee and tea
Suppose 20 report tea only, 80 report coffee only, 40 reports both. How many people drink tea in the
morning? How many people drink neither tea or coffee?
solution:
this problem can be solved by Venn diagram 
Venn diagram for the given problem is:







number of people who drink neither tea nor coffee =200 - 80 - 20 - 40 = 60
 
Example 4:
A survey asks: “Which online services have you used in the last month?”
Twitter
Facebook
Have used both
The results show 40% of those surveyed have used Twitter, 70% have used Facebook, and 20% have used both. How many people have used neither Twitter or Facebook?
solution:
Venn diagram:

total number of people who either use Facebook or twitter = 70% + 40% - 20 = 90%
total number of people who neither use Facebook nor twitter =100% - 90% = 10%

Inclusion and Exclusion principle, Venn diagram, examples with solutions, set theory , Mathematics

-
 In this article, you will learn all about the Principle of inclusion and exclusion. the principle of inclusion and exclusion explains how to find the total number of elements that belong to the particular set. principle: for two arbitrary set A and B the principle states as : |A ᴜ B| = |A| + |B| – |A ∩ B| where |A| is the cardinality of the set A. cardinality of the set is the number of elements present in the set. for three sets the principle of inclusion and exclusion is symbolically represented as: |A ∪ B ∪ C| = |A| + |B| + |C| – | A ∩ B|  –  |A ∩ C|  –  |B ∩ C| + |A ∩ B ∩ C| Examples: example 1: Suppose a survey of 100 people asks if they have a cat or dog as a pet.  The results are as follows:  55 answered yes for the cat, 58 answered yes for dog and 20 people checked yes for  both cat and dog. How many people have a cat or a dog? solution: the people who have a cat is denoted by set C the people who have a dog is denoted by  set D |C| = 55 |D|= 58 |C ∩D |= 20 by using the inclu

Multiset and operations on multisets(union, intersection, addition, difference), solved problems

-
A multiset is a set of elements in which every element can occur more than once. This is the different property of multiset from the sets. a set in which the occurrence of an element can be more than one or can be 0. The multiplicity of the element is the occurrence of the element in the multiset. the  multiplicity of an element can be 1 or more than one or can be 0. the size of the multiset is the sum of all the multiplicities of all the elements.  for example: A= {1,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,5} The multiplicity of element '1' in multiset A is 4. The multiplicity of element '2' in multiset A is 2. The multiplicity of element '3' in multiset A is 1. The multiplicity of element '4' in multiset A is 2. The multiplicity of element '5' in multiset A is 1. the size of the multiset A is 10 In sets, the cardinality of the set is the multiplicity of the set. and rest all things the representation of a set and multiset is similar. in multisets A={1,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4

Preposition and logical connectivities in Discrete Mathematics

-
 Preposition A preposition is a declarative statement that is either true or false, but not both. Prepositions contain connectives and variables. The variables in the preposition are denoted by capital letters(A, B,....Z). for example: India is a state                                returns 'false' Maharashtra is a country.               returns 'false' 12-3=9                                            returns 'true' 10-4=7                                          returns  'false' not prepositions    A is greater than 12       x+3=6 go and playout these statements are not prepositions because the statements do not have either a true value or false values. Connectives in prepositions Disconjunction/OR denoted by '∨'  conjunction/AND denoted by '∧' Not/Negation denoted by '∾' if then denoted by '→' if and only if '↔' Disconjuction/OR It combines two statements using or. Disconjunction is denoted by  '∨'. the
