After grading the take-home assignments, Mr. Montes randomly selects 5 take-home assignments to analyze. He considers the student's responses to the three multiple-choice questions, which are as shown.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline
Student 1 & Student 2 & Student 3 & Student 4 & Student 5 \\
\hline
[tex]$\{ C , A , C \}$[/tex] & [tex]$\{ C , B , B \}$[/tex] & [tex]$\{ C , B , C \}$[/tex] & [tex]$\{ B , A \}$[/tex] & [tex]$\{ C , A , A \}$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

The correct responses for the multiple-choice questions are, in order, C, B, and A.

If Set 1 represents the subset of these students who answered C for number 1, Set 2 represents the subset of these students who answered B for number 2, and Set 3 represents the subset of students who answered A for number 3, find each of the following. Explain what each notation means in the context of this scenario.

a. Set [tex]$1 \cap$[/tex] Set 2
b. Set [tex]$2 \cup$[/tex] Set 3
c. The complement of Set 1



Answer :

Sure, let's go through the solution step by step.

### Given Information:
1. Correct Answers: C for question 1, B for question 2, A for question 3.
2. Student Answers:
- Student 1: {C, A, C}
- Student 2: {C, B, B}
- Student 3: {C, B, C}
- Student 4: {B, A}
- Student 5: {C, A, A}

### Sets Defined:
- Set 1: Students who answered C for question 1.
- Set 2: Students who answered B for question 2.
- Set 3: Students who answered A for question 3.

From the students' answers:
- Set 1: {1, 2, 3, 5}
- Set 2: {2, 3}
- Set 3: {5}

### a. [tex]\( \text{Set } 1 \cap \text{ Set 2} \)[/tex]

Intersection of Set 1 and Set 2 is the set of students who answered 'C' for question 1 and 'B' for question 2.

- Set 1: {1, 2, 3, 5}
- Set 2: {2, 3}

Intersection: {2, 3}

### Answer: {2, 3}

### b. [tex]\( \text{Set } 2 \cup \text{ Set 3} \)[/tex]

Union of Set 2 and Set 3 is the set of students who answered 'B' for question 2 or 'A' for question 3.

- Set 2: {2, 3}
- Set 3: {5}

Union: {2, 3, 5}

### Answer: {2, 3, 5}

### c. The Complement of Set 1

The complement of Set 1 is the set of students who did not answer 'C' for question 1.

- Set of all students: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- Set 1: {1, 2, 3, 5}

Complement of Set 1: {4}

### Answer: {4}

### Context Explanation:
- Set 1 [tex]\(\cap\)[/tex] Set 2: Represents the students (Student 2 and Student 3) who answered 'C' for question 1 and 'B' for question 2.
- Set 2 [tex]\(\cup\)[/tex] Set 3: Represents the students (Student 2, Student 3, and Student 5) who answered 'B' for question 2 or 'A' for question 3.
- Complement of Set 1: Represents the students (Student 4) who did not answer 'C' for question 1.

By understanding these sets and their relationships, Mr. Montes can analyze the patterns in students' responses and identify common trends or areas where students may need additional help.
