Answer
To complete the Venn diagram:
Identify the elements present in both sets A and B. The only common element is 6. Place 6 in the intersection.
Fill in the elements of set A: Remaining elements are 1, 5, 8, and 9.
For set B, after placing 6 in the intersection, the remaining elements are 2 and 9.
The final placement should be:
In set A: {1, 5, 8, 9}
In set B: {2}
In the intersection (A ∩ B): {6}
This represents the complete distribution of elements in the Venn diagram.
Step 2

Answer
To find the probability that a number chosen at random from the universal set Z is in the set A∩B:
The intersection A∩B={6} has 1 element.
The total number of elements in the universal set Z is 9.
The probability is calculated as:
P(A∩B)=Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes=91
Thus, the probability that the selected number is in the set A∩B is rac{1}{9}.
