A survey of club membership of students, it is found that: 50% belongs to Club A, 55%
belong to Club B, 60% belong to Club C, 30% belong to Club A and B, 25% belong to Club
B and C, 20% belong to Club A and C, and 5% belong to all three Clubs.
A) What percent belong to exactly two clubs?
B) What percent do not belong to any club?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part A)


Belong to A ∩ B, but not C:  P ((AB) \ ABC) = 30% - 5% = 25%.


Belong to A ∩ C, but not B:  P ((AC) \ ABC) = 20% - 5% = 15%.


Belong to B ∩ C, but not A:  P ((BC) \ ABC) = 25% - 5% = 20%.


Now  the answer to question A)  is the sum  25% + 15% + 20% = 60%.    ANSWER

Part A) is solved, answered and explained.

Part B)


Apply the inclusion-exclusion principle


    P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(AB) - P(AC) - P(BC) + P(ABC) =

                 = 50%  + 55%  + 60%  - 30%   - 20%   - 25%   + 5% = 95%.


THEREFORE, the remaining 5% do not belong any club.     ANSWER

Solved.
