a survey of reading habits of 100 students showed that 30 read both comics and novels. 10 read neither comics nor novels and twice as many students read comics as read novels. 1. illustrate the information on a Venn diagram. 2. how many students read only novels. 3. how many students read comics. 4. how many students read only one type of book.
solve the questions for me
novel. x=5.
answer it for me please
To answer the questions, let's first illustrate the information on a Venn diagram:
1. Venn diagram representation:
Let's assume that the people who read comics are represented by the circle A, and the people who read novels are represented by the circle B. The overlapping region of the two circles (A ∩ B) represents the students who read both comics and novels.
```
A (Comics)
______________
| |
| A ∩ B |
|______________|
B (Novels)
```
Based on the given information:
- 30 students read both comics and novels (A ∩ B = 30).
- 10 students read neither comics nor novels. This means that the students outside of both circles are 10.
2. To find the number of students who read only novels:
From the Venn diagram, the number of students who read only novels is represented by (B - A). However, we don't have this value directly, so we need to find it using the given information.
Let's assume that the number of students who read novels only is x. According to the information given, twice as many students read comics as read novels. So, the number of students who read comics only is 2x.
Now, we can calculate the total number of students who read comics:
Number of students who read comics = Students who read comics only (2x) + Students who read both comics and novels (30)
= 2x + 30
The total number of students who read comics can also be calculated by looking at the Venn diagram:
Number of students who read comics = Students in the overlapping region (A ∩ B) + Students who read comics only (2x)
= 30 + 2x
Since both calculations represent the same value, we can equate them:
2x + 30 = 30 + 2x
From this equation, we can see that 2x cancels out, leaving us with:
30 = 30
This equation holds true, which means that the value of x can be anything. So, the number of students who read only novels (B - A) can be any value.
3. To find the number of students who read comics:
From the Venn diagram, the number of students who read comics is represented by (A ∪ (A ∩ B)).
We know that 30 students read both comics and novels (A ∩ B = 30), and twice as many students read comics as read novels. So, the number of students who read comics only is 2x, where x represents the number of students who read novels only.
The total number of students who read comics can be calculated using the equations mentioned in question 2:
Number of students who read comics = 2x + 30
Since x can be any value, we cannot determine the exact number of students who read comics.
4. To find the number of students who read only one type of book:
From the Venn diagram, the number of students who read only one type of book is represented by ((A - B) ∪ (B - A)).
As explained in question 2, the number of students who read only novels (B - A) can be any value, and the number of students who read only comics (A - B) cannot be determined since we don't have the required information.
Therefore, we cannot determine the exact number of students who read only one type of book.
