Question 1

What is the formula for finding the cardinality of the union of two sets?

  • |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B|
  • |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B|
  • |A ∪ B| = |A| - |B|

💡 Hint: Remember how elements are counted in both sets.

Question 2

True or False: The inclusion-exclusion principle can be applied to any number of sets.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about expanding the principle beyond two sets.
