Example: A school has 37 vacancies for teachers, out of which 22 are for English, 20 for History and 17 for Fine Art. Of these vacancies 11 are for both English and History, 8 for both History and Fine Art and 7 for English and Fine Art. Using a Venn diagram, find the number of teachers who must be able to teach:
(a.) all the three subjects
(b.) Fine Art only
(c.) English and History but not Fine Art.
Solution:
Let µ = {All vacancies for teachers}
E = {English vacancies}
H = {History vacancies}
F = {Fine Art vacancies}
µ = 37, n(E)= 22, n(H)= 20, n(F)= 17, n{EnH}= 11, n(HnF)= 8, n(EnF)= 7
(1) Let n(EnFnH) = y
n (EnHInF)= n(E)- (7-y+y+11-y)
= 22- (18-y) = 4 + y
n(EInHnF) = n(H) – (11-y+y+8-y)
= 20- (19-y) = 1+y
n(EInH1nF)= n(F) – ( 7-y +y+8-y)
= 17 – (15- y) = 2 +y
µ= 4+y+11-y+1+y+y+8-y+7-y+2+y
37= 33 + y
y = 37- 33
y = 4.
n(EnHnF) = 4 teachers
(2.) Fine Art only, n(EInHInF) = 2+ y
= 2+4 = 6 teachers
(3.) English and History but not Fine Art i.e English and History only
n(EnHnFI) = 11-y
= 11- 4 = 7 teachers.
Examples:
1. In a survey of 290 newspaper readers, 181 of them read daily times, 142 read the Guardian, 117 read the Punch and each read at least one of the paper, if 75 read the Daily Times and the Guardian,60 read the Daily Times and Punch and 54 read the Guardian and the punch
a) Draw a venn diagram to illustrate the information
b) How many read:
(i) all the three papers
(ii) exactly two of the papers
(iii) exactly one of the paper
X is the number of readers who read all the three papers
Since the sum of the number of elements in all regions is equal to the total number of elements in the universal set, then:
46 + X + 75 – X + 13 + X + 60 – X + X + 54 – X + 3 + X = 90
251 + X = 290
X = 290 – 251
X= 39
B(i): number of people who read all the three paper= 39
(ii) from the venn diagram, number of people who read exactly two papers
= 60 – X + 75 – X + 54 – X
=189 – 3X = 189 – 3(39) from the above
=189 – 117 = 72
(iii) also, from the venn diagram, number of people who read exactly only one of the papers
=46 + X + 13 + X + 3 +X
=162 +3X =162 + 3(39)
=162 + 117 = 179
(iv)number of Guardian reader only
=13 + X
=13 + 39 = 52
Evaluation
1. In a community of 160 people, 70 have cars ,82 have motorcycles, and 88 have bicycles, 20 have both cars and motorcycles,25 have both cars and bicycles, while 42 have both motorcycles and bicycles each person rode on at least any of the vehicles
a) Draw a venn diagram to illustrate the information
b) Find the number of people that has both cars and bicycles
c) How many people have either one of the three vehicles?
The score of 144 candidates who registered for mathematics, physics and chemistry in an examination in a town are represented in the venn diagram above.
a) How many candidate register for both mathematics and physics?
b) How many candidate register for both mathematics and physics only?
General Evaluation
