The discussion focuses on the correct usage of the symbols ⊆ (subset) and ∈ (element) in set theory. The provided solutions indicate that N is an element of ℚ and P(R), while the empty set ∅ is a subset of Z, and √2 is a subset of R. Participants clarify the definitions, stating that a subset contains all elements of another set, while an element is a member of a set. The conversation also prompts a question about whether N is considered a set or an element. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately interpreting set relationships.

Can you state what $\subseteq$ and $\in$ means?

⊆ = Subset
∈ = Element

Definition:

If all the elements of a set is contained in ANOTHER set, then the set whose elements are contained in another set is a subset.
Ex. Set A 's elements= 1,2,3 Set B's elements= 1,2,3,4,5 so... that means all the elements of Set A are in Set B, so A ⊆ B.
 
Good! :D

So, in reference to the first part of the question, is $\mathbb{N}$ a set or an element?
 
The standard _A " operator" maps a Null Hypothesis Ho into a decision set { Do not reject:=1 and reject :=0}. In this sense ( HA)_A , makes no sense. Since H0, HA aren't exhaustive, can we find an alternative operator, _A' , so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense? Isn't Pearson Neyman related to this? Hope I'm making sense. Edit: I was motivated by a superficial similarity of the idea with double transposition of matrices M, with ## (M^{T})^{T}=M##, and just wanted to see if it made sense to talk...
