Venn Diagrams!

Today I'll be teaching you how to make and work venn diagrams. Some things you should know:



  • The letter n stands for the intersection of the two cSircles.


  • The letter u stands for the union. The union is both of the circles.


  • If you have a line over a letter it means that it is a complement, meaning you want everything but the underlined area.

Example: There are a total of 40 juniors at East Island High. Ten juniors said they like math. Fifteen junior like science better. Six juniors like both. Find (M u S), (M n S), and the compliment of S.


1. (M u S) means that you want the union of the cicrles. All you have to do simply add.


(M u S) = 31


2. (M n S) means that you're only looking for the intersection of the two circles, which is the middle.


(M n S) = 6


3. Compliment of S means that you're counting everything but S.


compliment of S = 40 - 15 = 35


Woohoo! We're doneee! kbyeee.(:
