Question 1:
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
  • e)

  • c) 14 students took only Physical Education.
  • d) 16 students took neither Social Science nor Business Studies.

Solución

Let’s solve each part of the questions step by step.

Question 1

Given the sets:

a) both and

This set represents the intersection of sets and .
Elements in both and :
  • The common elements are and .
Thus,

b) but not

This set represents the elements in that are not in .
Elements in but not in :
  • From : are not in .
Thus,

c) or or both} )

This set represents the union of sets and .
Elements in either or :
  • Combine all unique elements from both sets: .
Thus,

d) but not

This set represents the elements in that are not in .
Elements in but not in :
  • From : are not in .
Thus,

e) Find where both or

This set represents the union of sets and , which we already found in part c.
The number of elements in is:

Question 2

Given the survey data:
  • Total students = 50
  • SS = 21
  • BS = 26
  • PE = 28
  • SS and BS = 9
  • BS and PE = 10
  • SS and PE = 7
  • All three = 3
  • None = 7

a) Construct a Venn diagram for the survey.

To construct the Venn diagram, we need to calculate the number of students in each section of the diagram.
  1. Students taking all three subjects (SS, BS, PE): 3
  2. Students taking only SS:
  3. Students taking only BS:
  4. Students taking only PE:
  5. Students taking SS and BS only:
  6. Students taking BS and PE only:
  7. Students taking SS and PE only:
Now we can summarize:
  • SS only: 8
  • BS only: 10
  • PE only: 14
  • SS and BS only: 6
  • BS and PE only: 7
  • SS and PE only: 4
  • All three: 3
  • None: 7

b) How many students were taking SS only?

From our calculations:

c) How many students were taking PE only?

From our calculations:

d) How many students take neither Social Science nor BS?

To find this, we can calculate the total number of students taking either SS or BS:
Thus, the number of students taking neither SS nor BS is:

e) How many students do not take SS?

The number of students not taking SS can be calculated as:

Summary of Answers

  1. a)
    b)
    c)
    d)
    e)
  2. a) Venn diagram constructed as described.
    b) SS only: 8
    c) PE only: 14
    d) Neither SS nor BS: 16
    e) Students not taking SS: 29

The intersection of sets A and B gives you the common elements, which are the ones that both share. For your first part, , since those are the only numbers “in both”. When we look at set D, where elements are only in A and not in B, we find . For set E, which is the “union” of both sets, you get . Set F captures those in B but not in A, resulting in . Lastly, the cardinal number of , which combines both sets, is 8.
When tackling the survey, constructing a Venn diagram helps visualize the overlaps of students taking each subject. You have a total of 50 students, and by methodically placing the intersections, the details shake down to a beautifully organized visual. For those taking SS only, the answer breaks down to 5 students. As for PE only, that would give you 10 students. Regarding students not taking either SS or BS, you’d have 12 students. Lastly, the number of students not enrolled in SS is 29. Keep up the great work with those set theory puzzles!
