\n" ); document.write( "A = arts club
\n" ); document.write( "B = academic club
\n" ); document.write( "C = music club\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is what the Venn Diagram looks like
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We have these 8 distinct regions marked in red
\n" ); document.write( "a = number in arts club only
\n" ); document.write( "b = number in arts & academics, but not music
\n" ); document.write( "c = number in academics club only
\n" ); document.write( "d = number in arts & music, but not academic
\n" ); document.write( "e = number of students in all 3 clubs
\n" ); document.write( "f = number in academics & music, but not arts
\n" ); document.write( "g = number in music club only
\n" ); document.write( "h = number of students in neither of the 3 clubs mentioned\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll break the given info into these facts
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [1]: 6 of the students belong to only the Arts Club.
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [2]: 5 of the students belong to all 3 clubs.
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [3]: 2 of the students belong to the Academic and Arts clubs but not to the Music club.
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [4]: 15 of the students belong to the Arts Club.
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [5]: 2of the students belong only to the Academic Club.
\n" ); document.write( "Fact [6]: 3 of the students belong only to the Music Club.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Based on those facts we can then determine the following:
\n" ); document.write( "a = 6 .... from Fact [1]
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2 .... from Fact [3]
\n" ); document.write( "c = 2 .... from Fact [5]
\n" ); document.write( "d = unknown for now
\n" ); document.write( "e = 5 .... from Fact [2]
\n" ); document.write( "f = unknown for now
\n" ); document.write( "g = 3 .... from Fact [6]
\n" ); document.write( "h = 0 ... because every student mentioned belongs to at least one of the three clubs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We've used nearly every fact, except fact 4, to determine values a,b,c,e,g,and h.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use Fact [4] to form and solve this equation
\n" ); document.write( "a+b+d+e = 15 students in the arts club (circle A)
\n" ); document.write( "6+2+d+5 = 15
\n" ); document.write( "13+d = 15
\n" ); document.write( "d = 15-13
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we'll use the fact that there are 30 students total, each of which belongs to one or more clubs.
\n" ); document.write( "a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h = 30
\n" ); document.write( "6+2+2+2+5+f+3+0 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "20+f = 30
\n" ); document.write( "f = 30-20
\n" ); document.write( "f = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's a summary of all the values
\n" ); document.write( "a = 6
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "c = 2
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2
\n" ); document.write( "e = 5
\n" ); document.write( "f = 10
\n" ); document.write( "g = 3
\n" ); document.write( "h = 0
\n" ); document.write( "and here's what the Venn diagram looks like now after replacing the letters with their corresponding numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We're now told to \"Find the number of students who belong to at least two clubs\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are two ways to do this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Method 1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add up the values b, d, e, f as they represent students who are in 2 clubs or more.
\n" ); document.write( "b+d+e+f = 2+2+5+10 = 19
\n" ); document.write( "There are 19 students who are in 2 clubs or more.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Method 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As a slight detour, let's find out how many students are in exactly one club only.
\n" ); document.write( "artsOnly + academicsOnly + musicOnly = a + c + g = 6+2+3 = 11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 11 students who have signed up for exactly one club.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 30 students total, so that must mean 30-11 = 19 students are in at least two clubs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The events \"in exactly one club\" and \"in at least two clubs\" are complementary events. One or the other must happen, but not both at the same time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer: 19 students who belong to at least two clubs.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
