Answer:

0.5 = 50% probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We treat the number of students in each class as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Spanish class

Set B: French class

Set C: German class

We start building these sets from the intersection of the three.

In addition, there are 2 students taking all 3 classes.

This means that:

(A \cap B \cap C) = 2

6 that are in both French and German

This means that:

(B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 6

So

(B \cap C) = 4

4 French and German, but not Spanish.

4 that are in both Spanish and German

This means that:

(A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 4

So

(A \cap C) = 2

2 Spanish and German, but not French

12 students that are in both Spanish and French

This means that:

(A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 12

So

(A \cap B) = 10

10 Spanish and French, but not German

16 in the German class.

This means that:

(C - B - A) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 16

(C - B - A) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 16

(C - B - A) = 8

8 in only German.

26 in the French class

(B - C - A) + (A \cap B) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 26

(B - C - A) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 26

(B - C - A) = 10

10 only French

28 students in the Spanish class

(A - B - C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 16

(A - B - C) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 28

(A - B - C) = 14

14 only Spanish

At least one of them:

The sum of all the above values. So

(A \cup B \cup B) = 14 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 50

None of them:

100 total students, so:

100 - (A \cup B \cup B) = 100 - 50 = 50

(a) If a student is chosen randomly, what is the probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes?

50 out of 100. So

50/100 = 0.5 = 50% probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes.
