Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given values

The problem provides the following values:

  • \( n(U) = 44 \)
  • \( n(A) = 25 \)
  • \( n(B) = 26 \)
  • \( n(C) = 18 \)
  • \( n(A \cap B) = 13 \)
  • \( n(A \cap C) = 8 \)
  • \( n(B \cap C) = 11 \)
  • \( n(A \cap B \cap C) = 5 \)
Step 2: Use the principle of inclusion-exclusion

To find the number of elements in each region, we use the principle of inclusion-exclusion for three sets: \[ n(A \cup B \cup C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A \cap B) - n(A \cap C) - n(B \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C) \]

Step 3: Calculate \( n(A \cup B \cup C) \)

Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ n(A \cup B \cup C) = 25 + 26 + 18 - 13 - 8 - 11 + 5 = 42 \]

Step 4: Determine the number of elements in region VIII

Region VIII represents the elements in \( U \) that are not in \( A \cup B \cup C \): \[ n(\text{Region VIII}) = n(U) - n(A \cup B \cup C) = 44 - 42 = 2 \]

Step 5: Determine the number of elements in regions I, II, and III

Using the given values and the Venn diagram:

  • Region I (only in \( A \)): \( n(A) - n(A \cap B) - n(A \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C) = 25 - 13 - 8 + 5 = 9 \)
  • Region II (only in \( B \)): \( n(B) - n(A \cap B) - n(B \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C) = 26 - 13 - 11 + 5 = 7 \)
  • Region III (only in \( C \)): \( n(C) - n(A \cap C) - n(B \cap C) + n(A \cap B \cap C) = 18 - 8 - 11 + 5 = 4 \)
Step 6: Determine the number of elements in regions IV, V, VI, and VII

Using the given values and the Venn diagram:

  • Region IV (in \( A \cap B \) but not \( C \)): \( n(A \cap B) - n(A \cap B \cap C) = 13 - 5 = 8 \)
  • Region V (in \( A \cap C \) but not \( B \)): \( n(A \cap C) - n(A \cap B \cap C) = 8 - 5 = 3 \)
  • Region VI (in \( B \cap C \) but not \( A \)): \( n(B \cap C) - n(A \cap B \cap C) = 11 - 5 = 6 \)
  • Region VII (in \( A \cap B \cap C \)): \( n(A \cap B \cap C) = 5 \)

Final Answer

  • Region I: 9 elements
  • Region II: 7 elements
  • Region III: 4 elements
  • Region IV: 8 elements
  • Region V: 3 elements
  • Region VI: 6 elements
  • Region VII: 5 elements
  • Region VIII: 2 elements
