18 students in a class play baseball. 17 students in the class play either or both sports. Select the Venn diagram that shows the number of students who play basketball and baseball
Unfortunately, I cannot display or choose a Venn diagram directly through this medium. However, I can help guide you in understanding the question and illustrating the correct Venn diagram yourself.
According to the given information:
- 18 students play baseball.
- 17 students play either or both baseball and basketball.
Since there are only 17 students who play either or both sports, this means that 1 student must be playing both baseball and basketball.
To draw the correct Venn diagram:
1. Draw two overlapping circles, one to represent baseball and the other to represent basketball.
2. Write "18" inside the baseball circle.
3. Write "1" in the overlapping area between both circles, indicating the student that plays both sports.
4. Leave the rest of the basketball circle empty, as there are no students who only play basketball.
Now, your Venn diagram will represent the given situation, and it is clear that 1 student plays both basketball and baseball.
