Understanding Set Operations

The video tutorial explains how to find the number of elements common to two sets, A and B, using both a Venn diagram and the cardinality formula for the union of two sets. Set A contains 42 elements, set B contains 23 elements, and the total number of elements in either set is 55. The tutorial demonstrates the need to subtract the intersection of the sets to avoid double-counting, leading to the conclusion that sets A and B have 10 elements in common.

How many elements are in set A?

• 23

• 55

• 10

• 42

What is the total number of elements in the union of sets A and B?

• 42

• 65

• 23

• 55
