Step-by-step solution

Here's the solution to the problem:

Let UU be the set of all households surveyed.
Let HH be the set of households doing homestay business.
Let AA be the set of households doing agriculture business.

Given information:
Total households, n(U)=120n(U) = 120.
Households doing homestay business, n(H)=70n(H) = 70.
Households doing agriculture business, n(A)=50n(A) = 50.
Households doing other work (neither homestay nor agriculture), n(H∪A)′=30n(H \cup A)' = 30.

  1. Calculate the number of households doing at least one business.

    n(H∪A)=n(U)−n(H∪A)′n(H \cup A) = n(U) - n(H \cup A)' n(H∪A)=120−30n(H \cup A) = 120 - 30 n(H∪A)=90n(H \cup A) = 90
  2. Calculate the number of households doing both homestay and agriculture business.

    n(H∪A)=n(H)+n(A)−n(H∩A)n(H \cup A) = n(H) + n(A) - n(H \cap A) 90=70+50−n(H∩A)90 = 70 + 50 - n(H \cap A) 90=120−n(H∩A)90 = 120 - n(H \cap A) n(H∩A)=120−90n(H \cap A) = 120 - 90 n(H∩A)=30n(H \cap A) = 30
  3. Calculate the number of households doing only homestay business and only agriculture business.

    Households doing only homestay business:

    n(H only)=n(H)−n(H∩A)=70−30=40n(H \text{ only}) = n(H) - n(H \cap A) = 70 - 30 = 40

    Households doing only agriculture business:

    n(A only)=n(A)−n(H∩A)=50−30=20n(A \text{ only}) = n(A) - n(H \cap A) = 50 - 30 = 20

    a) Write the cardinality notation of the number of households who do not do any of the homestay and agriculture business.
    The cardinality notation for the number of households who do not do any of the homestay and agriculture business is n(H∪A)′n(H \cup A)'.

    n(H∪A)′\boxed{n(H \cup A)'}

    b) Present the above information in a Venn-diagram.
    The Venn diagram would show:

    • A universal set UU containing 120 households.
    • Two overlapping circles, HH (Homestay) and AA (Agriculture).
    • The intersection H∩AH \cap A contains 30 households.
    • The part of HH only contains n(H only)=40n(H \text{ only}) = 40 households.
    • The part of AA only contains n(A only)=20n(A \text{ only}) = 20 households.
    • The region outside both circles, n(H∪A)′n(H \cup A)', contains 30 households.
           +---------------------------------+
           |             U = 120             |
           |    +-----------------------+    |
           |    |           H           |    |
           |    |     (40)      (30)    |    |
           |    |           +-------+   |    |
           |    |           |       |   |    |
           |    |           |   A   |   |    |
           |    |           | (20)  |   |    |
           |    +-----------+-------+---+    |
           |             (30)              |
           +---------------------------------+
    

    c) Find the number of households doing only one business.
    The number of households doing only one business is the sum of households doing only homestay business and households doing only agriculture business.

    n(only one business)=n(H only)+n(A only)n(\text{only one business}) = n(H \text{ only}) + n(A \text{ only}) n(only one business)=40+20n(\text{only one business}) = 40 + 20 n(only one business)=60n(\text{only one business}) = 60

    The number of households doing only one business is 60\boxed{60}.

    d) If 10 households who do other work start homestay business, find the ratio of households who do homestay business to agriculture business.
    Original number of households doing homestay business, n(H)old=70n(H)_{\text{old}} = 70.
    Original number of households doing agriculture business, n(A)old=50n(A)_{\text{old}} = 50.
    Original number of households doing other work, n(H∪A)old′=30n(H \cup A)'_{\text{old}} = 30.

    If 10 households from those doing other work start homestay business:
    The new number of households doing homestay business, n(H)new=n(H)old+10=70+10=80n(H)_{\text{new}} = n(H)_{\text{old}} + 10 = 70 + 10 = 80.
    The number of households doing agriculture business remains unchanged, n(A)new=50n(A)_{\text{new}} = 50.

    The ratio of households doing homestay business to agriculture business is:

    Ratio=n(H)new:n(A)new\text{Ratio} = n(H)_{\text{new}} : n(A)_{\text{new}} Ratio=80:50\text{Ratio} = 80 : 50 Ratio=8:5\text{Ratio} = 8 : 5

    The ratio of households doing homestay business to agriculture business is 8:5\boxed{8:5}.
