6. In a sample of 100 people 20 persons read news Paper A,
45 read News paper B, 16 persons do not read anything.
How many persons read
a)Both A and B::::15
b)At least one Paper:::84
c)Only one News paper:::5 + 30 = 35
---
Draw a Venn diagram of 2 intersecting circles labeled A and B.
Draw a rectangle around the circles.
----
Rectangle contains 100 people
Circle A has 20 people
Circle B has 45 people
16 people are in the rectangle but not in either circle.
------------
So 100-16 = 84 people are somewhere in the circles.
---
#(A and B) = #(A) + #(B) - #(A or B)
---
#(A and B) = 20 + 45 - 84 = -15
-----
15 are in the intersection of A and B
So 5 are in A but not in the intersection.
30 are in B but not in the intersection
