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.
