Question

In a survey of 269 college students, it is found that

Answer 1

Answer: a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n(B) = 69

n(Br)=90

n(C)=59

n(B∩Br)=28

n(B∩C)=20

n(Br∩C)=24

n(B∩Br∩C)=10

a) How many of the 269 college students do not like any of these three vegetables?

n(B∪Br∪C)=n(B)+n(Br)+n(C)-n(B∩Br)-n(B∩C)-n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C)

n(B∪Br∪C)=$69+90+59-28-20-24+10=156$

So, n(B∪Br∪C)'=269-n(B∪Br∪C)=269-156=83

b) How many like broccoli only?

n(only Br)=n(Br) -(n(B∩Br)+n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C))

n(only Br)=$90-(28+24+10)=28$

c) How many like broccoli AND cauliflower but not Brussels sprouts?

n(Br∩C-B)=n(Br∩C)-n(B∩Br∩C)

n(Br∩C-B)=$24-10=14$

d) How many like neither Brussels sprouts nor cauliflower?

n(B'∪C')=n(only Br)= 28

Hence, a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.
