a) Illustrate the information provided in a Venn Diagram.
Let represent people who speak Yoruba, for Hausa, and for Igbo.
Let the number of people in each region of the Venn diagram be as follows:
- : speak Yoruba only
- : speak Hausa only
- : speak Igbo only
- : speak Yoruba and Hausa only
- : speak Yoruba and Igbo only
- : speak Hausa and Igbo only
- : speak all three languages (Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo)
- : speak none of the languages
Given information:
Total people = 50
Number of people who speak exactly two languages =
Find the values for $d, e, f$.
Substitute the expressions for and into :
Now find and :
So, , , .
Set up equations for $a, b, c$ using the total number of people.
The sum of all regions must equal the total number of people:
Substitute the known values:
This means the number of people who speak one language only is 26.
Express in terms of .
Given:
From the Venn diagram regions:
Equating these:
Illustrate the Venn Diagram with the calculated values.
The values for the regions are:
- Yoruba and Hausa and Igbo (): 4
- Yoruba and Hausa only (): 6
- Yoruba and Igbo only (): 3
- Hausa and Igbo only (): 5
- None of the languages (): 6 The values for depend on , which will be found in part (b)(i). For the diagram, we will use the final values of after finding .
b) Find the:
(i) value of ;
(ii) number of people who speak one language only.
(i) Value of .
Use the equation and the expressions for in terms of .
Solve the quadratic equation for .
Using the quadratic formula :
Two possible values for :
Check for valid values of .
The number of people in any region cannot be negative.
If :
All these values are positive, so is a valid solution.If $
