Suppose U = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is the universal set and P = 1,3,5,7, What is P?

Question

Suppose U = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is the universal set and P = 1,3,5,7, What is P?

My answer is
1,3,5,7

Answer 1

correct.

But I suspect that was not really the question.

If the question was asking for P', then that would be

{2,4,6,8}

When talking about sets, it's better to use the braces; otherwise, you just have a list, not a set.

Answer 2

Your correct. I went back to the homework sheet and it looks like that mark but the quality of the sheet is so poor I missed it the 1st time.

Thank you

Answer 3

BUT STEVE, AARON WAS ASKING FOR P.

Answer 4

Your answer is correct. P is the set of elements in the universal set U that are also in the set P. In this case, the elements 1, 3, 5, and 7 are in both sets U and P, so P = {1, 3, 5, 7}.
