004. `Query 4

*********************************************

Question: `q2.4.13 (formerly 2.4.12) This was not assigned but you answered similar questions and should be able to answer this one: n(A') = 25, n(B) = 28, n(A' U B') = 40, n(A ^ B) = 10. What is n(A - B)?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

To get n(A - B) first I figured out what is outside of both circles, since there are 25 outside of A and 18 of them are in B that leaves 7 which are in neither. Then I took n(A’ U B’), which 40, and subtracted n(B), which is 18, and everything outside the circles, which is 7,from it, because A’ U B’ includes everything except the intersection of A and B, so when subtracted it leaves you with A. so 40 - 18 - 7 = n(A - B).

confidence rating #$&*: OK

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** In terms of the picture (2 circles, linked, representing the two sets) there are 28 in B and 10 in A ^ B so there are 18 in the region of B outside of A--this is the region B-A.

There are 25 outside of A, and 18 of these are accounted for in this region of B. Everything else outside of A must therefore also be outside of B, so there are 25-18=7 elements in the region outside of both A and B.

A ' U B ' consists of everything that is either outside of A or outside of B, or both. The only region that's not part of A ' U B ' is therefore the intersection A ^ B, since everything in this region is inside both sets.

A' U B' is therefore everything but the region A ^ B which is common to both A and B. This includes the 18 elements in B that aren't in A and the 7 outside both A and B. This leaves 40 - 18 - 7 = 15 in the region of A that doesn't include any of B. This region is the region A - B you are looking for.

Thus n(A - B) = 40 - 18 - 7 = 15.**

Supplementary comments:

For example, with (A' U B'), you ask the following questions in order:

What regions are in A?

What regions are therefore in A'?

What regions are in B?

What regions are therefore in B'?

So, what regions are in A' U B'?

If you can break a question down to a series of simpler questions, you can figure out just about anything.

Question: `qquery 2.4.19 wrote and produced 3, wrote 5, produced 7 &&&& How many did he write but not produce?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

To find the number of projects he wrote only and not produced I subtracted the number of projects he did both from the number of total projects wrote, which was 5 - 3 = 2. To find the number he produced only and didn’t write I subtracted number of projects he did both from total number of projects produced, just like before, which was 7 - 3 = 6

So he wrote and didn’t produce 2 projects and produced but didn’t write 6 projects.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** You need to count the two he wrote and produced among those he wrote, and also among those he produced.

He only wrote 5, three of which he also produced. So he wrote only 2 without producing them.

In terms of the circles you might have a set A with 5 elements (representing what he wrote), B with 7 elements (representing what he produced) and A ^ B with 3 elements. This leaves 2 elements in the single region A - B and 5 elements in the single region B - A. The 2 elements in B - A would be the answer to the question. **

Question: `q2.4.25 (formerly 2.4.24) 9 fat red r, 18 thn brown r, 2 fat red h, 6 thin red r, 26 fat r, 5 thin red h, 37 fat, 7 thin brown hens. ......!!!!!!!!...................................

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

There are 37 chickens are fat.

There are 22 red chickens because there are 2 fat red roosters, 2 fat red hens, 6 thin red roosters and 5 then red hens which adds up to 22.

There are 50 male chickens because there are 26 fat roosters, 18 thin brown roosters, and 6 thin red roosters which adds up to 50.

There are 11 fat female chickens because there are 37 fat chickens and 26 of them are males so that leaves 11 females.

There are 25 thin brown chickens because there are 18 thin brown roosters and 7 thin brown hens which adds up to 25.

There are 11 red and fat chickens because there are 9 fat red roosters and 2 fat red hens which adds up to 11.

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** Here's my solution. Tell me if there is anything you disagree with (I'm not infallible) or don't understand.

incidental: 18 thin brown roosters, 7 thin brown hens, 6 thin red hens and the 6 thin roosters which aren't fat (out of the 50-26=24 thin roosters 18 are brown so 6 are red) adds up to 37 thin chickens

How many chickens are fat?

37 as given

How many chickens are red?

22: 9 fat red roosters, 6 thin red roosters, 5 thin red hens, 2 fat red hens.

How many chickens are male?

50: 9 fat red roosters are counted among the 26 fat roosters so the remaining 17 fat roosters are brown; then there are 18 thin brown roosters and 6 thin red roosters; the number of roosters therefore adds up to 9 + 18 + 6 + 17 = 50

How many chickens are fat not male?

26 of the 37 fat chickens are male, leaving 11 female

How many chickens are brown not fat?

25: 18 thin brown roosters, 7 thin brown hens adds up to 25 thin brown chickens

How many chickens are red and fat?

11: 9 fat red roosters and 2 fat red hens.**
