Answer:
(a) Total No. of Subsets = 128
(b) Total No. of Proper Subsets = 127
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to define the set of days of the week.
Set of Days of Week = {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday}
It is evident from the set of days of the week, that it contains 7 elements.
(a)
The total no. of subsets of a given set is given by the following formula:
Total No. of Subsets = 2^n
where,
n = no. of elements of the set = 7
Therefore,
Total No. of Subsets = 2^n
Total No. of Subsets = 2^7
<u>Total No. of Subsets = 128</u>
(b)
The total no. of proper subsets of a given set is given by the following formula:
Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^n) - 1
where,
n = no. of elements of the set = 7
Therefore,
Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^n) - 1
Total No. of Proper Subsets = (2^7) - 1 = 128 - 1
<u>Total No. of Proper Subsets = 127 </u>
