Question 1194806: Resorts. In a survey of 65 resorts, it was found that
34 provided refrigerators in the guest rooms
30 provided laundry services
37 provided child care services
15 provided refrigerators in the guest rooms and laundry services
17 provided refrigerators in the guest rooms and child care services
19 provided laundry services and child care services 7 provided all three features
How many of the resorts provided
a. only refrigerators in the guest rooms?
b, exactly one of the features?
c. at least one of the features? d, exactly two of the features?
e. none of the features?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this problem, you are given a universal set of 65 resorts,
and 3 (three) its subsets
R = {provided refrigerators in the guest rooms}; n(R) = 34;
L = {provided laundry services}; n(L) = 30;
C = {provided child care services}; n(C) = 37.
You are also given the number of elements in each in-pair intersetion
n(RL) = 15; n(RC) = 17; n(LC) = 19,
and in the triple intersection n(RLC) = 7.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Now I answer questions, one after other. |
+-----------------------------------------------+
(a) n(R_only) = n(R) - n(RL) - n(RC) + n(RLC) = 34 - 15 - 17 + 7 = 9.
(b) To answer (b), calculate n(L_only) and n(C_only similarly.
Then compute n(R_only) + n(L_only) + n(C_only).
I leave it to you, since after my instructions, it is just simple arithmetic.
(c) Use the inclusion-exlusion principle formula for the union (R U L U C)
n(R U L U C) = n(R) + n(L) + n(C) - n(RL) - n(RC) - n(LC) + n(RLC) =
= 34 + 30 + 37 - 15 - 17 - 19 + 7 = 57.
(e) is the complement of n(R U L U C) to 65, so the answer to (e) is 65 - 57 = 8.
(d) To answer (d), you should calculate n(RL_only), n(RC_only) and n(LC_only).
Each of these three numbers is calculated following the same scheme.
For example, n(RL_only) = n(RL) - n(RLC) = 15-7 = 8.
So, calculate n(RC_only) and n(LC_only) similarly;
then compute the sum n(RL_only) + n(RC_only) + n(LC_only).
Solved.
