Given Solution: The collection A ^ B consists of all the people with both dark hair and bright eyes, which corresponds to the overlap between the two circles (region I). There are 8 people in this overlap, so we say n(A ^ B) = 8. The collection A U B consists of all the people who have least one of the characteristics. This would include the 12 people with dark hair but not bright eyes, located in the first circle but outside the overlap (region II); plus the 7 people with bright eyes but not dark hair, located in the second circle but outside the overlap (region III); plus the 8 people with both characteristics, located in the overlap (region I). Thus we include the 12 + 8 + 7 = 27 people who might be located anywhere within the two circles. The figure below, also seen in the QA for Assignment 2, represents this situation &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I missed the U (union) of the two. I see where the numbers come from now. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 2 ********************************************* Question: `q002. Continuing the preceding example, we let A' stand for the people who are not in the collection A, and we let B' stand for the people who are not in the collection B. What are the characteristics of the people in A', and what characterizes people in B' ? What are n(A ') and n(B '), the numbers of people in A' and B' ? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: A are the ones without dark hair B are the ones without bright eyes N(A)= 8 + 7= 15 n(b)= 8 +12 =20 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3
.............................................
Given Solution: Of the 35 people, those in A' are those outside of A. Since A consists of all the dark-haired people, A' consists of all the people lacking dark hair. This includes the 8 people outside of both circles (people having neither dark hair nor bright eyes, region IV) and the 7 people in the second circle but outside the overlap (people having bright eyes but not dark hair, region III). n(A ' ) is therefore 8 + 7 = 15. Since B consists of all the bright-eyed people, B' consists of all the people lacking bright eyes. This would include the 8 people outside both circles (region IV), all of whom lack both dark hair and bright eyes, and the 12 people in the first circle but outside the overlap (region II), who have dark hair but not bright eyes. n ( B ' ) is therefore 12 + 8 = 20. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Ok but sometimes I get confused about the actual region labels but I think overall I am ok. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 2 ********************************************* Question: `q003. ( A U B ) ' stands for the everyone outside A U B, and ( A ^ B ) ' stands for everyone outside A ^ B. What characterizes the people in each of these collections, and how many people are there in each? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: (A U B ) are the people not in the union of A and B which are the people that have either dark hair and or bright eyes. So it would be the people without dark hair or bright eyes which is 8. (A^B) are the people not in the intersection of people in A and B which are all people with dark hair or bright eyes so it would be people without dark hair or bright eyes which is 27, the 8 + 12 +7. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1
.............................................
Given Solution: A U B consists of everyone having at least one of the characteristics (dark hair, bright eyes), and is represented by the numbers in the two circles (regions I, II, III). ( A U B ) ' consists of the people who do not have at least one of the characteristics, and is represented by the number outside both circles (region IV). This number is 8, representing the 8 people who have neither dark hair nor bright eyes. A ^ B stands for all the people with both of the two characteristics (represented by the overlap, region I), so ( A ^ B ) ' stands for all the people who do not have both of the two characteristics (represented by everything outside region I, or regions II, III and IV). [ Note that (A ^ B)' is not the same as the collection of people who have neither characteristic. Anyone who does not have both characteristics will be in ( A ^ B ) ' . ] ( A ^ B )' must include those who have neither characteristic, and also those who have only one of the characteristics. The 8 people outside both circles, the 12 people in the first circle but outside the overlap, and the 7 people in the second circle but outside the overlap all lack at least one characteristic to, so these 8 + 12 + 7 = 27 people make up( A ^ B ) '. In the figure below: AU B includes every region in the figure below that is part of A, as well as every region that is part of B. This description is true of every region I, II and III. The only region not in A U B is region IV, so (A U B) ' consists of region IV. A ^ B includes those regions which are both part of A and part of B. The only such region is Region I. None of the regions II, III and IV can be said to be part of A as well as part of B. Thus ( A ^ B) ' consists of these three regions. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I dont think I word my answers as clearly because I get confused on my regions. I see the regions but sometimes get confused on placement or the ability of them to be together or separate??? If that makes sense.

Given Solution: A ' U B ' consists of all the people who are in at least one of the sets A ' or B '. A ' consists of all the people who do not have dark hair, represented by every region of the diagram which does not include any of A. This will include the 7 people in B who are outside the overlapping region, and the 8 people who are outside of both A and B (regions III and IV. Since A consists of regions I and II, A' consists of regions III and IV). B ' consists of all the people who do not have bright eyes, represented by every region of the diagram which does not include any of B (regions II and IV). This will include the 12 people in A but outside the overlap, and the 8 people outside of both A and B. Thus A ' U B ' consists of everyone in at least one of A ' or B ', including the 7 people in B but outside the overlap (region III), the 12 people in A let outside the overlap (region II), and the 8 people outside of both A and B (region IV). These will be the people who lack at least one of the characteristics dark hair and/or bright eyes. Thus n(A' U B') = 7 + 12 + 8 = 27. Note that these are the same 27 people who are in ( A ^ B ) '. So at least in this case, ( A ^ B ) ' = A ' U B '. A ' ^ B ' consists of all the people in both A ' and B '. As before A ' includes the 7 people in B but not A (region III) as well as the 8 people outside both A and B (region IV), and B ' includes the 12 people in A but not B (region II) as well as the 8 people outside both A and B (region IV). The people in both A ' and B ' will be the 8 people outside both A and B, those who have neither dark hair nor bright eyes. We note that this is the same as the set ( A U B ) ', so at least for the present case we see that ( A ' ^ B ' = ( A U B ) '. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I am slightly lost on this one. Please explain.

Given Solution: ( A U B ) ' = A ' ^ B ' and ( A ^ B ) ' = A ' U B '. The collection outside of the union A U B is the intersection A ' ^ B ', and the collection outside the intersection A ^ B is the union A ' U B '. The ' operation changes union to intersection and intersection to union. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I did not know that the operation changes the union/intersection. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 2 " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: 2 " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
