Q. What does the set {xx<13 or x>15}\{x | x < 13 \text{ or } x > 15\} represent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)all numbers less than or equal to 1313 or greater than or equal to 1515\newline(B)all numbers greater than 1313 or less than 1515\newline(C)all numbers less than 1313 or greater than 1515\newline(D)all numbers less than or equal to 1313 or greater than 1515
  1. Understand set notation: Understand the set notation.\newlineThe set {x | x < 13 \text{ or } x > 15} uses the "|" symbol to mean "such that," and the inequality signs "<" and ">" to denote "less than" and "greater than," respectively. The "or" in the set notation indicates that the set includes numbers that satisfy either one of the conditions: being less than 1313 or being greater than 1515.
  2. Analyze choices: Analyze the choices in relation to the set notation.\newline(A) suggests all numbers less than or equal to 1313 or greater than or equal to 1515, which is incorrect because the set notation does not include the numbers 1313 and 1515 themselves.\newline(B) suggests all numbers greater than 1313 or less than 1515, which is incorrect because the set notation specifies numbers less than 1313 and greater than 1515, not between them.\newline(C) suggests all numbers less than 1313 or greater than 1515, which matches the set notation exactly.\newline(D) suggests all numbers less than or equal to 1313 or greater than 1515, which is incorrect because the set notation does not include the number 1313.
  3. Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer based on the analysis.\newlineFrom the analysis in Step 22, the correct choice that represents the set {x | x < 13 \text{ or } x > 15} is (C) all numbers less than 1313 or greater than 1515.
