i) how many play volleyball only?
ii) how many play hockey only?​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) 3

ii) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H be the set of students who play Hokey

     V be the set of students who play Volleyball

     S be the set of students who play Soccer

======================================

card(volleyball only) = card(V) - [card(V∩H∩S) + card(V∩H only) + card(V∩S only)]

                                 = 73 - [50 + (58-50) + (62-50)]

                                 = 73 - [50 + 8 + 12]

                                 = 73 - 70

                                 = 3

………………………………………………

Card(Hokey only) = 100 - [3 + 8 + 50 + 10 + 12 + 12]

                              = 100 - 95

                              = 5
