      1. Draw a Venn diagram to represent the relationship between the sets X = {1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10} and Y = {1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}. Represent X Y using the roster method and set notation.

 

      1. Draw a Venn diagram to represent the relationship between the sets
                                             U = {1 ,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, X = {1, 2, 6, 7}, and Y = {1, 3, 4, 5, 8},
        where U is the universal set. Represent X Y using the roster method.

 

 

 

Information about sets is not always represented by Venn diagrams. Another type of graphic organizer that is often used is an attribute chart . This type of chart allows you to compare the characteristics of two sets. To transfer the information from an attribute chart to a Venn diagram accurately is important. The following activity allows you to practise this skill.
