1 answer:
I think the question has to do with the number of students who are attending the university but is neither an undergraduate nor living off-campus. To help us solve this problem, we use the Venn diagram as shown in the picture. The intersection of the 2 circles would be 3 students. The students in the 'students living off-campus' circle would be 9 - 2 = 6, while the undergraduate students would be 36-3 = 33. The total number of students inside all the circles and outside the circles should sum up to 60 students.
6 + 3 + 33 + x = 60
x = 60 - 6 - 3 - 3
x = 18 students
Therefore, there are 18 students who are neither an undergraduate nor living off-campus
6 + 3 + 33 + x = 60
x = 60 - 6 - 3 - 3
x = 18 students
Therefore, there are 18 students who are neither an undergraduate nor living off-campus
