Original question and givens

Finite integer choice sets A=[], B=[100]. Give (|A|+|B|, |A∪B|, |A∩B|).

  • G001 — Finite integer choice sets A=[], B=[100]. Give (|A|+|B|, |A∪B|, |A∩B|).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

declared finite tagged choices or full-product protocol

After

combinatorial counts,not probabilities or independence

Conditions: none

Addition uses disjoint tags and multiplication uses the declared full cross-stage protocol;neither is a probability-independence assumption.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_counting_protocol_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

choice=100;in A=No;in B=Yes

After

shared=No

Conditions: none

A shared element appears twice in the sum of sizes but once in the union.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: counting_overlap_membership · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

sum of choice-set sizes := sum(0, 1)

After

sum of choice-set sizes = 1

Conditions: none

First add the two set sizes,which may double-count shared choices.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

overlap-corrected union size := sub(1, 0)

After

overlap-corrected union size = 1

Conditions: none

Subtract the intersection once and audit the actual union size.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

A∪B=[100];A∩B=[]

After

union size=1

Conditions: none

Without disjoint tags,apply the overlap correction rather than treating one shared choice as two outcomes.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: finite_choice_inclusion_exclusion · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute overlap-corrected union size with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute sum of choice-set sizes with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(1, 1, 0)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
