Here are the solutions for ITEM 2. ITEM 2 Let P represent students who brought a pen, C for pencil, and R for ruler. Total students = 40. Given information: • Total students = 40 • Students who brought all 3 instruments: |P C R| = 12 • Students who didn't have any instrument: |(P C R)'| = 5 • Students who did not have a pen: |P'| = 11 |P| = 40 - 11 = 29 • Students who did not have a pencil: |C'| = 12 |C| = 40 - 12 = 28 • Students who did not have a ruler: |R'| = 18 |R| = 40 - 18 = 22 • Students who had a pen only: |P only| = 1 • Students who had only a pencil: |C only| = 2 • Students who had only a ruler: |R only| = 0 Let's denote the number of students in each region of the Venn diagram: • a = |P only| = 1 • b = |C only| = 2 • c = |R only| = 0 • k = |P C R| = 12 (all three) • x = |P C only| (pen and pencil, not ruler) • y = |P R only| (pen and ruler, not pencil) • z = |C R only| (pencil and ruler, not pen) • o = |(P C R)'| = 5 (none) We can set up equations using the total for each set: 1. |P| = a + x + y + k 29 = 1 + x + y + 12 x + y = 16 2. |C| = b + x + z + k 28 = 2 + x + z + 12 x + z = 14 3. |R| = c + y + z + k 22 = 0 + y + z + 12 y + z = 10 Now, solve the system of equations: From (1), y = 16 - x. Substitute into (3): (16 - x) + z = 10 z - x = -6 x - z = 6. Now we have two equations for x and z: x + z = 14 (from 2) x - z = 6 Adding these two equations: (x + z) + (x - z) = 14 + 6 2x = 20 x = 10. Substitute x = 10 into x + z = 14 10 + z = 14 z = 4. Substitute x = 10 into x + y = 16 10 + y = 16 y = 6. So, the number of students in each region is: • Pen only: a = 1 • Pencil only: b = 2 • Ruler only: c = 0 • Pen and Pencil only: x = 10 • Pen and Ruler only: y = 6 • Pencil and Ruler only: z = 4 • All three: k = 12 • None: o = 5 Let's verify the total: 1 + 2 + 0 + 10 + 6 + 4 + 12 + 5 = 40. This is consistent. a) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate this information and find out how many had at least a pencil and a ruler. The Venn diagram would look like this: [fill opacity=0.8] % Sets [blue!20] (0,0) circle (1.5); % P [red!20] (2,0) circle (1.5); % C [green!20] (1, -2) circle (1.5); % R % Labels for regions at (-0.8, 0.8) 1; % P only at (2.8, 0.8) 2; % C only at (1, -3.2) 0; % R only at (1, 0.2) 10; % P and C only at (0.2, -1.2) 6; % P and R only at (1.8, -1.2) 4; % C and R only at (1, -0.8) 12; % P and C and R % Set names at (-1.8, 1.5) P; at (3.8, 1.5) C; at (2.5, -3) R; % Universal set (-3,-4) rectangle (5,2); at (4.5, 1.5) U; at (4, -3.5) 5; % None To find how many had at least a pencil and a ruler, we need to find the number of students in the intersection of C and R, which is |C R|. This includes students who had only pencil and ruler, and those who had all three. |C R| = |C R only| + |P C R| = z + k = 4 + 12 = 16 b) The students who had less than two instruments were put in detention, how many students were put in detention? "Less than two instruments" means students who had zero instruments or one instrument. • Students with zero instruments: |(P C R)'| = 5 • Students with one instrument: |P only| + |C only| + |R only| = a + b + c = 1 + 2 + 0 = 3 Total students in detention = (students with zero instruments) + (students with one instrument) Total in detention = 5 + 3 = 8 What's next?
