Imagine that in the voting for the American League Cy Young Award (7 points for first place, 4 points for second, 3 points for third, 2 points for fourth, and 1 point for fifth) there were five candidates ( A, B, C, D, and E ) and 50 voters. When the points were tallied A had 152 points, B had 133 points. C had 191 points and D had 175 points. Find how many points E had and give the ranking of the candidates. ( Hint : Each of the 50 ballots hands out a fixed number of points. Figure out how many, and take it from there.)

Let the universal set be whole numbers 1
through 20 inclusive. That is,
U = {1, 2, 3, 4, . . ., 19, 20}. Let A, B, and C
be subsets of U.
Let A be the set of all prime numbers:
A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
Let B be the set of all odd numbers:
B = {1,3,5,7, . . ., 17, 19}
Let C be the set of all square numbers:
C = {1,4,9,16}
