Question

The Venn diagram shows the information about a stamp collection. f = 100 stamps in the collection A = stamps in the 20th century B = British stamps A B. X(X - 6) х 2x + 32 28 A stamp is chosen at random. Given that the stamp chosen is from the 20th century, what is the probability it is British?​

Answer 1

The probability that it is British is 0.6164 if the Venn diagram shows the information about a stamp collection. f = 100 stamps in the collection A = stamps in the 20th century B = British stamps A B. X(X - 6) х 2x + 32 28 A stamp is chosen at random.

What is the Venn diagram?

It is defined as the diagram that shows a logical relation between sets.

The Venn diagram consists of circles to show the logical relation.

We have:

f = 100 stamps in the collection

A = stamps in the 20th century

B = British stamps

We can make a linear equation to solve for x as the total stamps are 100 in the collection.

$\rm x(x-6)+x+2x+32= 100\\\\\rm x^2-6x+x+2x+32 = 100\\\\\rm x^2-3x-68 = 0$

After solving x = 9.88, or x = -6.88

Probability can't be negative so neglecting the negative ones

x = 9.88

The probability that it is British:

$=\rm \frac{x +2x + 32}{100}$  

$=\rm \frac{9.88 +2(9.88) + 32}{100}$

= 61.64/100

= 0.6164

Thus, the probability that it is British is 0.6164 if the Venn diagram shows the information about a stamp collection. f = 100 stamps in the collection A = stamps in the 20th century B = British stamps A B. X(X - 6) х 2x + 32 28 A stamp is chosen at random.
