Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around labeling sets in a Venn diagram based on a provided PDF. The original poster identifies set A as a collection of odd numbers but struggles to define set B and its relationship to A.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the sufficiency of the provided information and explore the relationships between the sets, including unions and intersections. There is uncertainty about the relevance of the odd nature of set A and the specific labeling of set B.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered guidance on potential approaches to labeling the sets, suggesting that the task may involve identifying unions and intersections. However, there is no explicit consensus on the exact nature of the sets or the information required to label them accurately.

Contextual Notes

There is mention of a PDF with additional details, but its contents are not fully clarified in the discussion. Participants express concern over the vagueness of the term "the sets" and the lack of sufficient data to determine the relationships between them.

Homework Statement


Label each set in the following Venn diagram as described in the attached pdf file.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


Unable to find a relationship that can describe the second set B. Obviously set A is a collection of Odd numbers.

Is this all the information there is? If so, I think the question is asking you to identify the unions, intersections, whatever. I doubt the fact that the numbers in A all happen to be odd is of any relevance.
 
Thanks for your reply. The question is asking to classify each set. There seems to be a pattern or relationship between the two sets that I can not figure out!
 
I find it extremely unlikely that you would be asked to find a pattern here. There just isn't enough data to go on, and it's not the sort of question likely to be asked in elementary set theory.
In your first post you said 'label the sets'. That's not the same as finding a pattern in them, and is a much more reasonable task. Trouble is, 'the sets' is rather vague. In the PDF, two sets are already labelled, A and B. What's unclear is which other sets are to be labelled, but you could obviously label the intersection of A and B, and universal set. You could also identify the union and the complements, though those might be harder to indicate in a drawing.
Are you quite sure there's no other information which might indicate which sets you are expected to label?

I think, clearly, they are looking for groupings such as:

set {567, 845, 931} is A AND NOT B
