Section 2.5 Applications of Sets
Applications = Word Problems • We will solve word problems using Venn Diagrams. • We will set up the Venn Diagram for the problem. • We then answer any questions about the sets in the problem.
The 3-Set Venn Diagram U A B II III I V IV VI C VII VIII
Order of Filling in the Regions: Inside-Out 1) Fill in information for Region V 2) Fill in information for Regions II, IV, VI 3) Fill in information for Regions I, III, VII 4) Fill in information for Region VIII
Page 85, Example 3 • 125 Customers • 68 Hawaii • 53 Las Vegas • 47 Disney World • 34 Hawaii and Las Vegas • 26 Las Vegas and Disney World • 23 Hawaii and Disney World • 18 all three
Example 3 Venn Diagram L U H D
Work upwards from bottom to top for the descriptions in Example 3 on pg 85 • 18 wished to travel to all three destinations. • Fill this in first, and work upwards in the list of descriptions.
L+D = 26. 26-18 = 8 L U H 18 5 8 D
H+L = 34. 34-18 = 16 L U H 16 18 5 8 D
D = 47. 47-18-8-5 = 16 L U H 16 18 5 8 16 D
L = 53. 53-18-16-8 = 11 L U H 11 16 18 5 8 16 D
H = 68. 68-18-16-5 = 29 L U H 11 29 16 18 5 8 16 D
Now use the Venn Diagram to answer the questions • Page 85 questions. How many surveyed a) did not wish to travel to any of these destinations? Looking at the Venn Diagram, we see this is 22.
