Understanding Sets and Cardinality

The video tutorial explains how to find the cardinality of the union and intersection of two subsets, A and B, within a universal set of whole numbers from 1 to 20. It introduces the concept of cardinality and demonstrates how to determine the number of elements in A union B and A intersect B without using Venn diagrams. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to listing and counting the elements in these sets, emphasizing the efficiency of this method.

What is the universal set in this example?

• Whole numbers from 1 to 40

• Whole numbers from 1 to 30

• Whole numbers from 1 to 20

• Whole numbers from 1 to 10

What does the cardinality of a set represent?

• The sum of all elements in the set

• The average of all elements in the set

• The number of elements in the set

• The difference between the largest and smallest elements

Which method was initially used to find the union and intersection of sets A and B?

• Using a calculator

• Using a Venn diagram

• Using a computer program

• Using a number line

What does 'A union B' mean in set theory?

• Elements that are in both set A and set B

• Elements that are only in set A

• Elements that are in either set A or set B

• Elements that are only in set B

How many elements are there in A union B?

• 16

• 17

• 15

• 14

What does 'A intersect B' mean in set theory?

• Elements that are in both set A and set B

• Elements that are only in set B

• Elements that are only in set A

• Elements that are in either set A or set B

How many elements are there in A intersect B?

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

Which elements are common in both sets A and B?

• 1, 6, 8, 14, 16

• 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

• 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

• 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

What is the benefit of determining union and intersection without a Venn diagram?

• It is more complex

• It is more visual

• It is faster

• It is more accurate
