Question

Let F equal the set of countries who have won fewer than 100

Bronze medals. Write the set F using the roster method. Let the universal set consist of the 10
countries listed in the table. Use the country abbreviations US, SU, GB, G, F, I, S, C, R, and EG when writing the set.

Answer 1

The set F, which consists of countries that have won fewer than 100 Bronze medals, can be written using the roster method as F = {C, R, EG}.

The roster method is a method of showing the elements of a set by listing them inside brackets.

The universal set of countries:

Countries Bronze Medals Won

United States (US) 749

Soviet Union (SU) 355

Great Britain (GB) 284

Germany (G) 270

France (F) 293

Italy (I) 228

Sweden (S) 230

China (C) 147

Russia (R) 177

East Germany (EG) 162

Thus, we can conclude that set F includes China (C), Russia (R), and East Germany (EG), because these three are the only countries from the given universal set that have won fewer than 100 Bronze medals.
