Example Question #72 : Sets

Define the set $C = \left \{ 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20\right \}$

Which of the following is a subset of ?

Possible Answers:

$\left \{ 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\right \}$

$\left \{ 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14\right \}$

$\left \{ 1, 4, 8, 12, 20\right \}$

$\left \{ 8, 9, 10, 12, 16, 18\right \}$

$\left \{ 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 14\right \}$

Correct answer:

$\left \{ 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\right \}$

Explanation:

A subset of a set , by definition, is any set that contains no elements not in . Each of the following subsets can be seen to have at least one such element, which is underlined here:

$\left \{ \underline{1}, 4, 8, 12, 20\right \}$

$\left \{ 8, \underline{9}, 10, 12, 16, 18\right \}$

$\left \{ 4, 6, 8, 10,\underline{ 11}, 14\right \}$

$\left \{ 2, 4, 6, \underline{9}, 12, 14\right \}$

The remaining set can be seen to have only elements from :

$\left \{ 4, 8, 12, 16, 20\right \}\subseteq \left \{ 2, \underline{4}, 6, \underline{8}, 10, \underline{12}, 14, \underline{16}, 18, \underline{20}\right \}$

Example Question #72 : Data Analysis

Define two sets as follows:

$A = \left \{ a, b, d, f, h, i, j \right \}$

$B = \left \{ b, c, d, e, h, k, m, p\right \}$

How many elements are in $A \cup B$ ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$A \cup B$ is the union of sets and - the set of all elements that appear in either or . These elements are:

$\left \{ a, b,c, d,e, f, h, i, j,k,m,p \right \}$

which is a set with twelve elements.

-0.66,-0.69,-0.71,-0.70

-0.69,-0.66,-0.70,-0.71

-0.71,-0.69,-0.70,-0.66

-0.66,-0.69,-0.70,-0.71

Correct answer:

-0.71,-0.70,-0.69,-0.66

Explanation:

For negative numbers, the bigger the value next to the negative sign, the smaller the number. For example, is smaller than .

Use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers:

The negative numbers with a in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a in the tenths place.

Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers:

-0.69 is smaller than -0.66 since is larger than .

-0.71 is smaller than -0.70 since is larger than .

Place the following numbers in order from least to greatest: 0.71,0.69,0.70,0.66

Possible Answers:

0.69,0.66,0.70,0.71

0.71,0.70,0.69,0.66

0.66,0.69,0.71,0.70

0.66,0.69,0.70,0.71

Correct answer:

0.66,0.69,0.70,0.71

Explanation:

First, use the tenths digit (the one to the right of the decimal point) to order the numbers.

The numbers with a 6 in the tenths place are smaller than the numbers with a 7 in the tenths place.

Then, use the hundredths place to order the numbers.

0.66 is smaller than 0.69 since 6 is smaller than 9.

0.70 is smaller than 0.71 since 0 is smaller than 1.
