Question

The diagram represents two statements: p and q. Which represents regions A, B, and C?

Answer 1

Answer:

Region A: includes all elements that are part of p, but not part of q.

Region B: includes elements that are part of p AND part of q at the same time.

Region C:  includes all elements that are part of q, but not part of p.

For example, ensemble p might represent all friends of yours who got a burger at Mc Donald's.  Ensemble q might represent those who got fries at Mc Donald's.  Some of them will have gotten only a burger (A), some have bought only fries (C), and some will have bought both (B).

Answer 2

Answer:

The area represented by p v q or p ∪ q.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram represents two statements: p and q.

Here,

A represents the region in which only p is true.

B represents the region in which both p and q are true.

C represents the region in which only q is true.

The combine region of A, B, and C represents the region in which either p is true or q is true.

Therefore the region of A, B, and C is the union of p and q. It can be represented as p v q or p ∪ q.
