Answer:
a) 32 students
b) 10 students
c) 84students
Explanation:
Let the total number of student be n(U) = 141
Those who take French and German = n(F∩G) = 15
Those who take French and Spanish = n(F∩S) = 24
Those who take German and Spanish = n(G∩S) = 6
Those who take all the three subjects = n(F∩G∩S) = 5
Spanish student n(S) = 67
French students n(F)= 66
German students n(G) = 58
Find the venn diagram attached for clarification
a) From the diagram, number of student that took french only = x = n(G'∪S'∪F)
n(G'∪S'∪F) = n(F) - (10+5+19)
n(G'∪S'∪F) = 66 - 34
n(G'∪S'∪F) = 32
Hence 32 students took only French
b) Number of students that take French AND German but not Spanish is represented using the set notation
n[(F∩G)∪S']
This is the intersection of F and G excluding Spanish. From the diagram, the value is 10. Hence;
n[(F∩G)∪S'] = 10
Hence 10 students took French AND German but not Spanish.
c) Before we can get the number of students that take French OR German but not Spanish, we need to get those that take German only first;
y = n(G∪S'∪F') = n(G) - (10+5+1)
n(G∪S'∪F') = 58 - 16
n(G∪S'∪F') = 42 students
Number of students take French OR German but not Spanish = x + y + 10
Number of students take French OR German but not Spanish = 32 + 42 + 10 = 84 (Note that students that studied French only and German only are inclusive compared to b above that they are excluded)
Hence 84 students took French OR German but not Spanish.
