  1. The Number of Elements in a Set2.4

  2. The Cardinality of a Set If A is any set, the number of elements in A is denoted by n(A). The number n(A) is called the cardinal number of A. For example, if A = {1,2,3,4}, then n(A) = 4. Number of Elements in A ∪ B n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

  3. Exercises 5. On checking with 100 families, it was found that 75 subscribe to Time, 55 to Newsweek, and 10 to neither magazine. How many subscribe to both? n(T ∪ N) = n(T) + n(N) – n(T ∩ N) 90 = 75 + 55 – n(T ∩ N) 90 = 130 – n(T ∩ N) T N n(T ∩ N) = 40 35 40 15 10 Ų

  4. Exercises • 8. Mr. N. Roll, the registrar at a university, has observed that, of the students, • 45% have a 9am class • 45% have a 10am class • 40% have an 11am class • 20% have a 9 and a 10am class • 10% have a 9 and an 11am class • 15% have a 10 and an 11amclass • 5% have a 9, 10, and an 11am class • What percent of the students have only a 9am class? • What percent of the students have no classes at these times?
