EXAMPLE 1.2.2

Let

U = {Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Curly Joe, Spurrier}

A = {Moe, Spurrier}

B = {Shemp, Curly}

Draw a Venn Diagram that correctly shows the relationship between sets A, B and U.

SOLUTION

Notice that sets A and B have no elements in common (in such a case, we say that the sets are disjoint). This means that the circles representing those sets must not overlap..
