Assignment 3

This document discusses set operations and employee benefits. It defines sets of people who got IT jobs (A), got jobs (B), live in the USA (A), and own houses in Canada (B). It provides examples of intersections, unions, and differences of these sets. It also gives employee benefits data for cab privileges (A), breakfast privileges (B), those with both (A∩B), and neither (A'∪B'). Using this data and the principle of inclusion-exclusion, it calculates the total number of employees and explains how a Venn diagram can aid comprehension of set relationships.

Assignment: Sets, Set Operations, and

Employee Benefits

Question 1

Set Definitions:

 A: Set of people who got jobs in the IT sector.

 B: Set of people who got jobs.

Set Operations:

(a) A ∩ B (Intersection):

 Description: People who got jobs in the IT sector and have jobs.

 Example: Individuals employed in the IT sector with general job positions.

(b) A ∪ B (Union):

 Description: People who either got jobs in the IT sector or have jobs.

 Example: All individuals who got jobs, including those in the IT sector and other industries.

(c) A − B (Set Difference):

 Description: People who got jobs in the IT sector but don't have general jobs.

 Example: Individuals exclusively employed in the IT sector.


(d) B − A (Set Difference):

 Description: People who got general jobs but not in the IT sector.

 Example: Individuals employed in industries other than IT.

Question 2

Set Definitions:

 A: Set of people living in the USA.

 B: Set of people having a house in Canada.

Set Operations:

(a) People living in the USA and having a house in Canada:

 Expression: A ∩ B

 Example: Individuals residing in the USA who also own houses in Canada.

(b) People living in the USA and not having a house in Canada:

 Expression: A - B

 Example: Individuals living in the USA without owning houses in Canada.

(c) People either living in the USA or having a house in Canada:

 Expression: A ∪ B

 Example: All individuals who either reside in the USA or own houses in Canada.
(d) People either non-US residents or not owning a house in Canada:

 Expression: (A' ∪ B')

 Example: Individuals who are either not residing in the USA or do not own houses in

Canada.

Question 3

Employee Benefits Calculation:

Given:

 Employees with cab privilege (A): 750

 Employees with breakfast privilege (B): 900

 Employees taking both benefits: 530

 Employees taking neither benefit: 60

Calculation:

1. Total Employees (n):

o Using Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion (PIE): n = |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B|

o Substitute values: n = 750 + 900 - 530 = 1120

2. Explanation of PIE:

o The Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion is a counting technique used to find the total

count of elements in the union of two or more sets while avoiding double counting.

Venn Diagram:
 A Venn diagram can be created to visually represent the sets and their intersections, aiding in

better comprehension. You can use GitMind to draw a Venn diagram following the

instructions in the provided video How to draw a Venn diagram?.
