corresponding to the following:
a. A ∩ B = {4}

5. List all the proper subsets of {T, I, M, T}: {}, {T}, {I}, {M}, {T,I}, {T,I,M}, {T,M},{I,M}

6. Use the diagram below to find the cardinality for each problem:

a. n(N) = 4
b. n[ (R E)  N] = 5
c. n(E′) = 3
d. n(E – R) = 2
e. n(U) = 8
f. n(R  E N) = 1

7. Tell whether each statement is True or False:

a. All sets that are equal are also equivalent. True
b. A′  B′ = (A  B) ′ False
c. If set F = {1, 2, 3} and set G = {2, 3, 1} then F ⊂ G. True
d. For any set U’ = { }. False
e. n(T  L) = n(T) + n(L) False

8. Fill in the blanks with one of the following ∈, ∉, ⊆, ⊂, or ⊄ to make each statement true.
a. { } ⊂ {2, 4}
b. {Whole number} ∉ {Rational numbers}
c. –2 ∉ {Naturals numbers}
d. –6 ∈ {x | x is a solution to the equation x2 = 36}
