prove that If |A|>4 Then |𝒫(A)|+|𝒫(B)| ≠ |𝒫(A∪B)|












-2












$begingroup$


hello i need help to prove that this statement is either true or false . i already tried to prove it with an example and arrived to the conclusion that this statement is true .
my question is how can i prove that it is true or false for any given set without a specific example .
If |A|>4 Then |𝒫(A)|+|𝒫(B)| ≠ |𝒫(A∪B)|.



p.s: 𝒫(A) and 𝒫(B) are power sets

    Here $P(A)$ means the set of all subsets of $A$?

    As your question is asked, it is very incomplete : if $P(.)$ means probability, you have forgotten to write down most hypotheses : you have set of $n$ elements endowed with uniform probability but this is not enough, what is $B$, etc.

    I am sorry for the confusion first time posting. Here P(A) = means powerset of A and P(B) is powerset of B. We have no information regarding the set B.

    Assuming $A$ and $B$ are disjoint, this is true if $|A|>1.$ Without that assumption, you can always choose $B$ with $|B|=|A|$ and $|Bcap A|=|A|-1.$
