Question

HELP PLEASE THANK YOU! :) 50 POINTS !!!!!!!1

Sami asked 50 people which drinks they liked from tea, coffee and milk. All 50 people like at least one of the drinks . 19 people like all three drinks. 16 people like tea and coffee but do not like milk. 21 people like coffee and milk. 24 people like tea and milk. 40 people like coffee. 1 person likes only milk. Sami selects at random one of the 50 people. (a) Work out the probability that this person likes tea?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.

Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,

Total number of people = 50

Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19

Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16

Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2

Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5

Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)

= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4

Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44

⇒ Probability that this person likes tea =
`\frac{\text{ Total person who like to drink milk}}{\text{ Total number of people}}` =
`(44)/(50) = 0.88`
