Venn Diagram Notes

Composition and 29 are taking Chemistry. If five


students are in both classes, how many students are in
neither class? How many are in either class? What is the
probability that a randomly-chosen student from this
group is taking only the Chemistry class?
Step 1: Draw the universe for the
forty students with two overlapping
circles labeled with the total in each.
Step 2: Since five students are taking
2
both classes, put "5" in the overlap.
Step 3: Account for five of the 14
English students, leaving nine
students taking English but not 9 5 24
Chemistry and put "9" in the "English
only" part of the "English" circle.
Step 4. I've also accounted for five of
the 29 Chemistry students, leaving 24
students taking Chemistry but not
English, so I'll put "24" in the
"Chemistry only" part of the
"Chemistry" circle.
Step 5. A total of 9 + 5 + 24 = 38 students are in
either English or Chemistry (or both). This leaves
two students unaccounted for, so they must be the
ones taking neither class.
Answer the questions:
1. If five students are in both
classes, how many students
are in neither class? 2
2. How many are in either class? 24 + 5 + 9 = 38
3. What is the probability that a
randomly-chosen student
24/40 = .6
from this group is taking only 60%
the Chemistry class?
1. A group of 60 students were asked if they played fieldhockey
(F), basketball (B) or soccer (S). The diagram below displays the
results.
What percent of the
11 group play:
a) field hockey &
3  2  8.33%
basketball?
60
b) field hockey or60  21
basketball? 65%
60
c) field hockey & soccer?
4  3 11.66%
60
d) neither of the three
11
sports? 18.33%
60
10  18  7  58.33% e) only 1 sport?
60
2. The Venn diagram displays the results of a survey of 100
families regarding technology in their homes. Computer (C),
VCR (V) and fax machine (F).
How many families have:
a) a computer at home?
62 + 5 + 4 + 7 = 78
b) all three machines?
5
c) none of the machines in
their home?
3
d) no fax machine?
3 (18 + 62 + 7) + 3 = 90
e) a computer and a VCR?
62 + 5 = 67
f) a VCR or a computer?
18 + 0 + 62 + 5 + 7 + 4 = 96
3. Each member of a sports club plays at least one of soccer, rugby or tennis.
The following is known: 43 members play tennis, 11 play tennis & rugby, 7
play tennis & soccer, 6 play soccer & rugby, 84 play rugby or tennis, 68 play
soccer or rugby and 4 play all three sports.
a) Display the data in a Venn Diagram
b) How many members does the club have?

Soccer Rugby

68–9–39–7 = 13 2 84-43-2 = 39

4. Of the 28 students in a class, 12 have a part time job, 22 have a
part time job or do regular volunteer work, and 4 of the
students have a part time job and do regular volunteer work.
a) Display the data in a Venn Diagram.
b) How many of the students do not have a part time job or do not volunteer
regularly?
