\n" ); document.write( "B = set of people who play basketball
\n" ); document.write( "S = set of people who play soccer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n(B) = number who play basketball
\n" ); document.write( "n(B) = 172
\n" ); document.write( "n(S) = 545
\n" ); document.write( "n(B and S) = 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n(B or S) = n(B) + n(S) - n(B and S)
\n" ); document.write( "n(B or S) = 172+545-35
\n" ); document.write( "n(B or S) = 682\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n(neither B nor S) = n(Total) - n(B or S)
\n" ); document.write( "n(neither B nor S) = 698 - 682
\n" ); document.write( "n(neither B nor S) = 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
