Question

Consider that 45% of Americans own a dog, 25% of Americans own a cat, and 40% of Americans own neither. Draw a Venn Diagram for this situation. Be sure to label every region of the Venn Diagram with a word AND the percentage of Americans that fall in each category.

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

40% own neither, it means 100% - 40% = 60% own either a dog or a cat.

Since 45% own a dog, 60% - 45% = 15% own a cat but not a dog.

Since 25% own a cat and 15% own only a cat, 25% - 15% = 10% own a dog and a cat.

Now, 10% out of 45% own both pets, 45% - 10% = 35% own only a dog.

All the numbers reflected in the attached Venn diagram:

• 35% - dog
• 10% - both
• 15% - cat
• 40% - neither
