Dissertation Writers: Venn Diagrams
Venn Diagrams
Often, when sorting objects or elements, it helps to look at the similarities and differences between groups. For example, if a parent has two children, the parent may be interested in activities that both children enjoy and can do together as well as activities that each child enjoys doing separately. A Venn diagram can help organize these activities by looking at one distinct circle for each child’s preferred activities, with the area where the circles overlap indicating common activities. This will help parents and other caregivers quickly reference which activities the children have in common and which they do not.
A Venn diagram provides a visual representation of two or more sets. For this Discussion, you will focus on two sets using a two-circle Venn diagram.
- Using the letters from your first and last names, create a set and label it N. Sets do not contain duplicate letters, so if any letters are repeated in your name, only list them once in set N. For example, if your name is “Megan Ryan”, in roster form N = {m,e,g,a,n,r,y}. The letters, “A” and “N” in the last name, Ryan, are not written since they are written as part of the first name, Megan. The other set, M, will consist of the letters in the word “math” or M = {m,a,t,h}.
- Using a two-circle Venn diagram, list the elements that fall into Regions I, II, and III of the Venn diagram in roster notation. A worksheet containing a two-circle Venn diagram can be found here. Complete it and attach the Venn diagram to your post.
- Determine whether your sets are disjoint, subsets, equal sets, or overlapping sets and explain your reasoning.
