Question 1167780: In a recent survey, it was found out that a certain college has 86 faculty members broken down as follows:
48 female intructors
46 married instructors
34 instructors with more than 15 years service
19 married female
18 married with more than 15 years service
17 female with more than 15 years service
8 married female with more than 15 years service
Questions:
1. How many are married female with less than 15 years service?
2. How many are married male with more than 15 years service?
3. How many are single female with more than 15 years service?
4. How many are married female with more than 15 years service
5. How many are male single with less than 15 years service?
You can't answer number 5. You are given the number that have MORE than 15 years service, but the complement of that set is the number that have LESS than or EQUAL to 15 years service. So to answer number 5 you must find the number of single males with less than or equal to 15 years service and subtract the number of single males with EXACTLY 15 years service. You cannot determine the cardinality of that last set from the data given.
