Question
carrie is finding the set of even numbers within the set of prime numbers. of the sets described, which is the universal set? all real numbers all integers prime numbers even numbers
A universal set is the set that contains all the elements relevant to a particular context. Here, Carrie is looking at even numbers within prime numbers. So the context is about prime numbers, and the universal set for this specific task (finding even numbers within prime numbers) should be the set of prime numbers because we are considering subsets (even numbers) within the set of prime numbers. All real numbers or all integers are too broad for this specific context, and even numbers is the subset, not the universal set here.
