Let A and B be subsets of a universal set U and suppose n(U) = 400, n(A) = 115, n(B) = 90, and n(A ∩ B) = 50. Find the number of

elements in the set.

By the inclusion/exclusion principle,

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=155

There are 400 elements in the universal set U, which means there are 400 - 155 = 245 elements not accounted for by A\cup B, or

n(U)=n(A\cup B)+n((A\cup B)^C)\implies n((A\cup B)^C)=245

That's all you can really determine from the given info. Considering the language of the problem, "Find the number of elements in the set", I find it hard to believe that the set it's talking about isn't mentioned.

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below:
Elodia [21]

Answer:

-3.8, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a system is where the graph cross each other.  If you look to where they intersect to the left of the origin, where x is negative, it appears that they intersect ALMOST at -4, but not quite.  So -3.8 is going to have to do since we don't have the equations of either graph to find the exact values of x.  To the right of the origin, where x is positive, the graphs cross where x = 3..

pickupchik [31]
Answer: 95.55%

--------------------------------

Work Shown:

A = event that copier A breaks down
B = event that copier B breaks down

P(A) = probability that copier A breaks down
P(A) = 2% = 0.02

P(B) = probability that copier B breaks down
P(B) = 2.5% = 0.025

P(neither break down) = (1-P(A))*(1-P(B))
P(neither break down) = (1-0.02)*(1-0.025)
P(neither break down) = 0.9555
P(neither break down) = 95.55%
