Question 1164083: Logic: Set and operations - Cardinal numbers and surveys
A student conducted a survey at her school to find out the top goals
students currently have. Let W = the set of those who want to get rich,
F = the set of those who want to start a family, and E = the set of those
who want to become experts in their fields. The student's findings were:
n (W) = 160; n (F) = 140; n (E) = 130; n (W∩F) = 95; n (E∩F) = 90;
n (W∩F∩E) = 80; n (E ') = 95; n [(W∪F∪E)'] = 10. Find the total number of
students interviewed. Found 2 solutions by Edwin McCravy, ikleyn:Answer by Edwin McCravy(20054) (Show Source):
Find the total number of students interviewed.
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION!
It's a givaway! You're given n(E)=130 and n(E')=95, so
the total number of students = their sum = 225.
[All the other given information is not needed.]
Edwin
The total number of students in the school is n(E) + n(E') = 130 + 95 = 225.
The number of those who was not interviewed is n([(W U F U E)']) = 10 (given).
Hence, the number of those who WAS interviewed is the COMPLEMENT 225 - 10 = 215.
