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}
