Notes:3.2b Universal Sets

a. The set that contains all the elements under
consideration in a given discussion is called
the universal set
b. In set notation, the symbol denotes a
universal set.
c. ={ 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10} and
G = {3, 6, 9}, then G . The Venn diagram
shows the relationship between set G and the
universal set .

c. The Venn diagram below shows the

relationship between G, G' and the universal
set .

d. In the above example, let

n( ) = 10, n(G) = 3 and n(G ' ) = 7.
n( ) = n(G)+n(G ' )
=3+7
=10
Therefore, the sum of the number of elements
in a set and its complement is equal to the
total number of elements in the universal
set.

d. All sets are subsets of their respective

universal sets.
3.2c Complement of a Set
a. The complement of set G are all elements in
the universal set that are not elements of
set G.
b. In set notation, G' denotes the complement of
set G.
If ={1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} and
G ={3, 6, 9}, then
G'={1,2,4,5,7,8,10}.

6 It is given that
={ all letters of the word 'KIND} and
Z = {all vowels}.
(a) State the set Z' as a statement.

(b) List the elements of Z and Z'.

(c) If = {all letters of the alphabet} and

Z = {vowels}, find n(Z') Then draw a
Venn diagram illustrating the number of
elements in Z, Z' and .

(b) State the relationship between each of the

following pairs of sets using the symbol .
(i) A and B

(ii) A and Q'

7.

(iii) A' and Q

(a) List the elements in

(i) A
(iv)B and A'

(ii) Q'

(v) B' and A'

(iii) A'

(iv) B'

notation.

(i) n(R),

the set stated below in each of the
following Venn diagrams.

(c) Find n(S').

(d) State the relationship between R, S and .

2. It is given that
= {x: 10 x 25 , x is an integer},

4 For each of the following Venn diagrams,

State the set that represents the shaded
region(s).

5.
