Chapter 2.4, Problem 55E

Challenge Yourself

As you saw in Section 2.3, a common mistake in using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle is to say n ( A ∪ B ) = n ( A ) + n ( B ) and forget that elements in A ∩ B have been counted twice. Show by giving counterexamples that the following two formulas for counting the elements of three sets are incorrect:

a. n ( A ∪ B ∪ C ) = n ( A ) + n ( B ) + n ( C )

b. n ( A ∪ B ∪ C ) = n ( A ) + n ( B ) + n ( C ) − n ( A ∩ B ) − n ( A ∩ C ) − n ( B ∩ C )
