<-- Enter Set B

Given the following sets
A = {1,2,3,4}
B = {2,4,6,8}
find the following items:

A U B, A ∩ B, A - B
B - A, A Δ B (symmetric difference)
concatenation of A and B, |A|, |B|
Jaccard Index and Distance, and Dice's Coefficient.

Determine A U B:

A U B is all elements of A and B

A U B = {1,2,3,4,6,8}

Determine A ∩ B:

A ∩ B is all elements in A and B

A = {1,2,3,4}
B = {2,4,6,8}

A ∩ B = {2,4}

Determine (A - B):

All elements of A excluding A ∩ B

A = {1,2,3,4}

A - B = {1,3}

Determine (B - A):

All elements of B excluding A ∩ B

B = {2,4,6,8}

B - A = {6,8}

Determine A Δ B:

A not in B, and B not in A

A Δ B = (A - B) U (B - A)

A Δ B = {1,3} U {6,8}

A Δ B = {1,3,6,8}

Determine A · B:

A · B = 1,2,3,4,2,4,6,8

Determine cardinality of A, |A|

|A| = Number of set items

|A| = 4

Determine cardinality of B, |B|

|B| = Number of set items

|B| = 4

Determine Cartesian Product:

(x,y) where
x ∈ A and y ∈ B

{(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(1,8),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(2,8),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(3,8),(4,2),(4,4),(4,6),(4,8)}

Calculate Jaccard Index J(A,B):

J(A,B)  =  |A ∩ B|
  |A U B|

J(A,B)  =  |2|
  |6|

J(A,B) = 0.33333333333333

Calculate Jaccard Distance J(A,B):

Jσ(A,B) = 1 - J(A,B)

Jσ(A,B) = 1 - 0.33333333333333

Jσ(A,B) = 0.66666666666667

Calculate Dice's Coefficient:

s  =  |A ∩ B|
  |A| + |B|

s  =  |2|
  |4| + |4|

s  =  2
  8

s = 0.25

Determine if A ⊂ B:

All elements of A ∈ B

1 ⊄ 2,4,6,8

2 ⊂ 2,4,6,8

3 ⊄ 2,4,6,8

4 ⊂ 2,4,6,8

Because all elements of A are not in B,
then A ⊄ B

Determine if B ⊂ A:

All elements of B ∈ A

2 ⊂ 1,2,3,4

4 ⊂ 1,2,3,4

6 ⊄ 1,2,3,4

8 ⊄ 1,2,3,4

Because all elements of B are not in A,
then B ⊄ A

Final Answer

A U B = {1,2,3,4,6,8}
A ∩ B = {2,4}
A - B = {1,3}
B - A = {6,8}
A Δ B = {1,3,6,8}
A · B = 1,2,3,4,2,4,6,8
|A| = 4
|B| = 4
Cartesian Product = {(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(1,8),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(2,8),(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(3,8),(4,2),(4,4),(4,6),(4,8)}
J(A,B) = 0.33333333333333
Jσ(A,B) = 0.66666666666667
s = 0.25
Because all elements of A are not in B,
then A ⊄ B
Because all elements of B are not in A,
then B ⊄ A
