2. List out the elements of the set “Months of the year.”
3. Write a verbal description of the set {3, 6, 9}.
4. Write a verbal description of the set {a, e, i, o, u}.
5. Is {1, 3, 5} a subset of the set of odd integers?

For problems 7-12, consider the sets below, and indicate if each statement is true or false.
\(A\) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} \(B\) = {1, 3, 5} \(C\) = {4, 6} \(U\) = {numbers from 0 to 10}
7. \(3 ∊ B\)
8. \(5 ∊ C\)
9. \(B ⊂ A\)
10. \(C ⊂ A\)
11. \(C ⊂ B\)
12. \(C ⊂ D\)
Using the sets from above, and treating \(U\) as the Universal set, find each of the following:
13. \(A ⋃ B\)
14. \(A ⋃ C\)
15. \(A ⋂ C\)
16. \(B ⋂ C\)
17. \(A^c\)
18. \(B^c\)
Let D = {b, a, c, k}, E = {t, a, s, k}, F = {b, a, t, h}. Using these sets, find the following:
19. \(D^c ⋂ E\)
20. \(F^c ⋂ D\)
21. \((D ⋂ E) ⋃ F\)
22. \(D ⋂ (E ⋃ F)\)
23. \((F ⋂ E)^c ⋂ D\)
24. \((D ⋃ E)^c ⋂ F\)
Create a Venn diagram to illustrate each of the following:
25. \((F ⋂ E) ⋃ D\)
26. \((D ⋃ E)^c ⋂ F\)
27. \((F^c ⋂ E^c) ⋂ D\)
28. \((D ⋃ E) ⋃ F\)

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} B = {1, 3, 5} C = {4, 6}. Find the cardinality of the given set.
33. \(\text{n}(A)\)
34. \(\text{n}(B)\)
35. \(\text{n}(A ⋃ C)\)
36. \(\text{n}(A ⋂ C)\)
The Venn diagram here shows the cardinality of each set. Use this in 37-40 to find the cardinality of the given set.
37. \(\text{n}(A ⋂ C)\)
38. \(\text{n}(B ⋃ C)\)
39. \(\text{n}(A ⋂ B ⋂ C^c)\)
40. \(\text{n}(A ⋂ B^c ⋂ C)\)
41. If \(\text{n}(G) = 20\), \(\text{n}(H) = 30\), \(\text{n}(G ⋂ H) = 5\), find \(\text{n}(G ⋃ H)\).
42. If \(\text{n}(G) = 5\), \(\text{n}(H) = 8\), \(\text{n}(G ⋂ H) = 4\), find \(\text{n}(G ⋃ H)\).
