\n" ); document.write( "Break down what we know into 8 different facts
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 1: 113 tourists total
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 2: 62 of the tourists plan to visit Gateway Arch
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 3: 48 plan to visit the zoo
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 4: 11 plan to visit the Art Museum and the zoo, but not the Gateway Arch
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 5: 14 plan to visit the Art Museum and the Gateway Arch, but not the zoo
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 6: 16 plan to visit the Gateway Arch and the zoo, but not the Art Museum
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 7: 8 plan to visit the Art Museum, the zoo, and the Gateway Arch
\n" ); document.write( "Fact 8: 14 plan to visit none of the three places
\n" ); document.write( "we'll use these facts to help set up the problem (venn diagram) and ultimately to answer the question.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a venn diagram with 3 overlapping circles. The three circles will be located inside a rectangle. The rectangle represents all of the tourists, which we'll call set T. The numbers in circle A represent those who plan to visit the Art Museum. The numbers in circle G is for the Gateway Arch. Finally, those in circle Z are aiming to visit the zoo
\n" ); document.write( "A = Art Museum
\n" ); document.write( "G = Gateway Arch
\n" ); document.write( "Z = Zoo
\n" ); document.write( "T = set of all tourists
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We have 3 overlapping circles so there will be 2^3 = 8 different regions. I'll label the regions R1 through R8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Definition of each region:
\n" ); document.write( "R1 = region inside circle A but outside of the other circles
\n" ); document.write( "R2 = region inside circle A and circle G but not inside circle Z
\n" ); document.write( "R3 = region inside circle G but outside of the other circles
\n" ); document.write( "R4 = region inside circle A and circle Z but not inside circle G
\n" ); document.write( "R5 = region inside all three circles
\n" ); document.write( "R6 = region inside circle G and circle Z but not inside circle A
\n" ); document.write( "R7 = region inside circle Z but outside of the other circles
\n" ); document.write( "R8 = region outside all of the circles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The expanded definitions (based on the context of the problem) would be:
\n" ); document.write( "R1 = set of people who want to see the art museum only (no arch, no zoo)
\n" ); document.write( "R2 = people who want to see the art museum and gateway arch, but not the zoo
\n" ); document.write( "R3 = set of people who want to see the gateway arch only (no art museum, no zoo)
\n" ); document.write( "R4 = people who want to see the art museum and zoo, but not the art museum
\n" ); document.write( "R5 = set of people who want to see all three locations
\n" ); document.write( "R6 = people who want to see the gateway arch and zoo, but not the art museum
\n" ); document.write( "R7 = set of people who want to see the zoo only (no art museum, no arch)
\n" ); document.write( "R8 = set of people who don't want to see any of the three locations
\n" ); document.write( "All regions R1 through R8 are inside the rectangle T, to represent the set of all tourists
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now follow these steps (refer to the blue color coded facts that I wrote above at the top of the problem)
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
NumberInstructionReason
1Replace R8 with 14Fact 8
2Replace R5 with 8Fact 7
3Replace R2 with 14Fact 5
4Replace R4 with 11Fact 4
5Replace R6 with 16Fact 6

\n" ); document.write( "After completing those steps, you should have this venn diagram
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Since we have 14, 8 and 16 people in the \"G\" circle, this means that 14+8+16 = 38 people plan to go to the Gateway Arch in some way. This isn't the full amount of people that want to go to the Gateway Arch since Fact 2 states the total count for the Gateway Arch is actually 62. So we're short 62-38 = 24 people. This value 24 will replace R3. The value 24 represents those who only want to see the gateway arch (and nothing else).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using similar logic, we have 11+8+16 = 33 people so far in the \"Zoo\" circle, but according to Fact 3, that grand total for people who want to go to the Zoo should be 48. We're short 48-33 = 15 people, so this value (15) will go in region R7. The 15 is inside circle Z but outside the other circles, meaning that 15 people only want to see the zoo (and nothing else).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The only region left to fill in is R1, which is the number of people who only want to go to the art museum (skipping out on the gateway arch and not going to the zoo either).
\n" ); document.write( "From Fact 1, we know that 113 tourists were surveyed. If x represents the value that replaces R1, then we can add up all the numbers, set it equal to 113 and solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "x+14+24+11+8+16+15+14 = 113
\n" ); document.write( "x+102 = 113
\n" ); document.write( "x+102-102 = 113-102
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11
\n" ); document.write( "So 11 will replace R1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "We now have the completed venn diagram. Now onto the question
\n" ); document.write( "Question: How many plan to visit the Art Museum only?
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 11
\n" ); document.write( "This is simply the value that is in region A but outside the other circles. Once you have the full completed venn diagram, it's simply a matter of locating the proper region and writing down the value. In this case, the proper region is R1.
