Let U = {1, 2, …, 30}, A = {x ∈ U : x is even}, and B = {x ∈ U : x is prime}. What is A′ ∩ B?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29}
The complement A′ consists of all odd numbers in U. The primes from 1 to 30 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29. Since 2 is even, it is not in A′. Every other prime in this list is odd, so the intersection is {3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29}.
