Answer:

When we have an empty circle in a point, this means that the value of the point is not included.

This would be used for something like:

x > a

The value a is not a solution, because x needs to be larger than a, then we should use the empty circle.

A filled circle is used when the value is included in the solutions.

This is used for inequalities like:

x ≥ a

Where x = a is a possible solution.

Then if we have te set:

Z ≥ 3

We should have a filled circle at the value 3.
