![### Set Theory Statements Evaluation
#### Problem Statement:
For all sets \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\), determine whether each of the statements below is **true** or **false**. If it is true, then prove it algebraically indicating the laws used. If it is false, then find a counterexample.
**(a)** \(\mathcal{P}(X \times Y) = \mathcal{P}(X) \times \mathcal{P}(Y)\)
(Note: \(\mathcal{P}(A)\) is the power set of set \(A\).)
**(b)** \((Z - X) - (X - Y) = Z - X\)
---
### Explanation:
The problem consists of two parts (a) and (b), each providing a statement about sets \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\). The goal is to verify whether each statement is true or false by using algebraic proof or finding a counterexample.
**Statement (a):**
\[
\mathcal{P}(X \times Y) = \mathcal{P}(X) \times \mathcal{P}(Y)
\]
- \(\mathcal{P}(X \times Y)\) denotes the power set of the Cartesian product of sets \(X\) and \(Y\).
- \(\mathcal{P}(X)\) denotes the power set of set \(X\).
- \(\mathcal{P}(Y)\) denotes the power set of set \(Y\).
- The Cartesian product of two power sets \(\mathcal{P}(X)\) and \(\mathcal{P}(Y)\) is denoted by \(\mathcal{P}(X) \times \mathcal{P}(Y)\).
To solve this, one needs to check if the power set of a Cartesian product is equal to the Cartesian product of the power sets.
**Statement (b):**
\[
(Z - X) - (X - Y) = Z - X
\]
- \(Z - X\) means the set of elements in \(Z\) that are not in \(X\).
- \(X - Y\) means the set of elements in \(X\) that are not in \(Y\).
- \((Z - X) - (X - Y)\) means the set of elements in \(Z](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4b2a143d-2016-460a-a4a8-767b87cc7d00%2F70962dfd-a91c-434b-b36a-bb2c325352d8%2F80ka34e_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
