Most of the students are don’t realize what is Universal Set U
is all about ,Let’s see an example problem which explains us more ….

Question:-

Out of forty students, 14 are taking English Composition and 29 are taking Chemistry. If five students are in both classes, how many students are in neither class? How many are in either class? What is the probability that a randomly-chosen student from this group is taking only the Chemistry class?

Answer:-

This online help with math gives the solution of the above problem.
Here the total number of students in class is what is Universal Set U ,which is given as 40 students

Here is the venn diagram template for the complete question

Two students are taking neither class.
There are 38 students in at least one of the classes.
There is a 24/40 = 0.6 = 60%  probability that a randomly-chosen student in this
group is taking Chemistry but not English.
