Answer:
a. The number of students who can play all three instruments = 2 students
b. The number of students who can play only the saxophone is 0
c. The number of students who can play the saxophone and the clarinet but not the flute = 4 students
d. The number of students who can play only one of the clarinet, saxophone, or flute = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students available = 29
The number of students that can play flute = 11 students
The number of students that can play clarinet = 15 students
The number of students that can play saxophone = 12 students
The number of students that can play flute and saxophone = 4 students
The number of students that can play flute and clarinet = 4 students
The number of students that can play clarinet and saxophone = 6 students
Let the number of students who could play flute = n(F) = 11
The number of students who could play clarinet = n(C) = 15
The number of students who could play saxophone = n(S) = 12
We have;
a. Total = n(F) + n(C) + n(S) - n(F∩C) - n(F∩S) - n(C∩S) + n(F∩C∩S) + n(non)
Therefore, we have;
29 = 11 + 15 + 12 - 4 - 4 - 6 + n(F∩C∩S) + 3
29 = 24 + n(F∩C∩S) + 3
n(F∩C∩S) = 29 - (24 + 3) = 2
The number of students who can play all = 2
b. The number of students who can play only the saxophone = n(S) - n(F∩S) - n(C∩S) - n(F∩C∩S)
The number of students who can play only the saxophone = 12 - 4 - 6 - 2 = 0
The number of students who can play only the saxophone = 0
c. The number of students who can play the saxophone and the clarinet but not the flute = n(C∩S) - n(F∩C∩S) = 6 - 2 = 4
The number of students who can play the saxophone and the clarinet but not the flute = 4 students
d. The number of students who can play only the saxophone = 0
The number of students who can play only the clarinet = n(C) - n(F∩C) - n(C∩S) - n(F∩C∩S) = 15 - 4 - 6 - 2 = 3
The number of students who can play only the clarinet = 3
The number of students who can play only the flute = n(F) - n(F∩C) - n(F∩S) - n(F∩C∩S) = 11 - 4 - 4 - 2 = 1
The number of students who can play only the flute = 1
Therefore, the number of students who can play only one of the clarinet, saxophone, or flute = 1 + 3 + 0 = 4
The number of students who can play only one of the clarinet, saxophone, or flute = 4.
