Prove that a disjoint union of any finite set and any countably infinite set is countably infinite. Proof: Suppose A is any finite set, B is any countably infinite set, and A and B are disjoint. By definition of disjoint, A ∩ B = ∅ Then h is one-to-one because f and g are one-to one and A ∩ B = 0. Further, h is onto because f and g are onto and given any element x in A ∪...

a) Prove that the union between two countably infinite sets is a countably infinite set. b) Would the statement above hold if we instead started with an infinite amount of countably infinite sets? _________________________________________________ Thank you in advance!

Suppose A is an infinite set and B is countable and disjoint from A. Prove that the union A U B is equivalent to A by defining a bijection f: A ----> A U B. Thus, adding a countably infinite set to an infinite set does not increase its size.

Use the definition to prove that any denumerable set is equinumerous with a proper subset of itself. (This section is about infinite sets)

Prove Cantor’s original result: for any nonempty set (whether finite or infinite), the cardinality of S is strictly less than that of its power set 2S . First show that there is a one-to-one (but not necessarily onto) map g from S to its power set. Next assume that there is a one-to-one and onto function f and show that this assumption leads to a contradiction by defining a new subset of S that cannot possibly be the image of...

Prove the statements (a) and (b) using a set element proof and using only the definitions of the set operations (set equality, subset, intersection, union, complement): (a) Suppose that A ⊆ B. Then for every set C, C\B ⊆ C\A. (b) For all sets A and B, it holds that A′ ∩(A∪B) = A′ ∩B. (c) Now prove the statement from part (b)

Theorem 16.11 Let A be a set. The set A is infinite if and only if there is a proper subset B of A for which there exists a 1–1 correspondence f : A -> B. Complete the proof of Theorem 16.11 as follows: Begin by assuming that A is infinite. Let a1, a2,... be an infinite sequence of distinct elements of A. (How do we know such a sequence exists?) Prove that there is a 1–1 correspondence between the...

If the sample space S is an infinite set, does this necessarily imply that any random variable defined from S will have an finite set of possible values? If yes, say why. If no, give an example.
