Algebra.Com's Answer #318460 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The trick is to get a count for each little \n" ); document.write( "region of the Venn diagram. \n" ); document.write( "Label the big interlocking circles: \n" ); document.write( "R = 45 \n" ); document.write( "T = 16 \n" ); document.write( "O = 13 \n" ); document.write( "A key item is: 4 grew all three types \n" ); document.write( "Look at just the intersection of Roses and Tulips \n" ); document.write( "There are 7 gardeners in this intersection, but 4 grew all 3 types, \n" ); document.write( "so there are 7 - 4 = 3 who grew ONLY Roses and Tulips \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Look at just the intersection of Tulips and Orchids \n" ); document.write( "There are 5 gardeners in this intersection, but 4 grew all 3 types, \n" ); document.write( "so there are 5 - 4 = 1 who grew ONLY Orchids and Tulips \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Look at just the intersection of Roses and Orchids \n" ); document.write( "There are 10 gardeners in this intersection, but 4 grew all 3 types, \n" ); document.write( "so there are 10 - 4 = 6 who grew ONLY Roses and Orchids \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Now all that is left is to count how many grew \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Roses \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Tulips \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Orchids \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Roses = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Tulips = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "ONLY Orchids = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "There were 9 gardeners who didn't grow any of these 3 types \n" ); document.write( "Now you can answer any question \n" ); document.write( "(a) How many grew only roses? \n" ); document.write( "32 grew only Roses \n" ); document.write( "(b) How many grew both roses and tulips, but not orchids? \n" ); document.write( "This is the intersection of Roses and Tulips, which is 7, \n" ); document.write( "minus the ones that grew all 3 types, \n" ); document.write( "(c) How many grew only tulips? \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(d) How many grew none of these three or only orchids? \n" ); document.write( "Only Orchids is \n" ); document.write( "none of the 3 types is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(e) How many flower gardeners were surveyed? \n" ); document.write( "Add up all the little areas of the Venn diagram to get \n" ); document.write( "a true count of gardeners who grew SOME of the 3 types \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Add this to gardeners who grew NONE of the 3 types \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "And, I hope I didn't mess something up, but this is the method I use \n" ); document.write( " |
