Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we first need to determine the number of students in each category using the given information. Let FF be Football, NN be Netball, and BB be Basketball.

Given:
Total students =100= 100
∣F∣=40|F| = 40
∣N∣=45|N| = 45
∣B∣=50|B| = 50
∣F∩N∣=24|F \cap N| = 24
∣F∩B∣=18|F \cap B| = 18
∣B∩N∣=19|B \cap N| = 19
Number of students who played none of the games =18= 18

  1. Calculate the number of students who played at least one game.

    The number of students who played at least one game is the total number of students minus those who played none.

    ∣F∪N∪B∣=Total students−Students playing none|F \cup N \cup B| = \text{Total students} - \text{Students playing none} ∣F∪N∪B∣=100−18=82|F \cup N \cup B| = 100 - 18 = 82
  2. Calculate the number of students who played all three games (∣F∩N∩B∣|F \cap N \cap B|).

    We use the Principle of Inclusion-Exclusion:

    ∣F∪N∪B∣=∣F∣+∣N∣+∣B∣−(∣F∩N∣+∣F∩B∣+∣B∩N∣)+∣F∩N∩B∣|F \cup N \cup B| = |F| + |N| + |B| - (|F \cap N| + |F \cap B| + |B \cap N|) + |F \cap N \cap B|

    Substitute the known values:

    82=40+45+50−(24+18+19)+∣F∩N∩B∣82 = 40 + 45 + 50 - (24 + 18 + 19) + |F \cap N \cap B| 82=135−61+∣F∩N∩B∣82 = 135 - 61 + |F \cap N \cap B| 82=74+∣F∩N∩B∣82 = 74 + |F \cap N \cap B| ∣F∩N∩B∣=82−74=8|F \cap N \cap B| = 82 - 74 = 8

    So, 8 students played all three games.

  3. Calculate the number of students who played exactly two games.

    • Students playing exactly F and N: ∣F∩N∣−∣F∩N∩B∣=24−8=16|F \cap N| - |F \cap N \cap B| = 24 - 8 = 16
    • Students playing exactly F and B: ∣F∩B∣−∣F∩N∩B∣=18−8=10|F \cap B| - |F \cap N \cap B| = 18 - 8 = 10
    • Students playing exactly B and N: ∣B∩N∣−∣F∩N∩B∣=19−8=11|B \cap N| - |F \cap N \cap B| = 19 - 8 = 11 Total students playing exactly two games =16+10+11=37= 16 + 10 + 11 = 37.
  4. Calculate the number of students who played exactly one game.

    We can find this by subtracting the number of students playing exactly two games and exactly three games from the total number of students playing at least one game.

    Exactly one game=∣F∪N∪B∣−(Exactly two games)−(Exactly three games)\text{Exactly one game} = |F \cup N \cup B| - (\text{Exactly two games}) - (\text{Exactly three games}) Exactly one game=82−37−8=37\text{Exactly one game} = 82 - 37 - 8 = 37

    So, 37 students played exactly one game.

    a) Basing on the calculation from the information given, advise whether the school should offer sports bursaries.

    Condition 1: More than 60% play at least one of the games.
    Number of students playing at least one game =82= 82.
    Percentage =82100×100%=82%= \frac{82}{100} \times 100\% = 82\%.
    Since 82%>60%82\% > 60\%, this condition is met.

    Condition 2: More than 40% must know how to play at least two of the three games.
    Number of students playing at least two games = (Exactly two games) + (Exactly three games)
    Number of students playing at least two games =37+8=45= 37 + 8 = 45.
    Percentage =45100×100%=45%= \frac{45}{100} \times 100\% = 45\%.
    Since 45%>40%45\% > 40\%, this condition is met.

    Since both conditions are met, the school should offer sports bursaries.

    The school should offer sports bursaries.\boxed{\text{The school should offer sports bursaries.}}

    b) Calculate the probability that a student picked at random played only one sport game.

    The number of students who played only one sport game is 37.
    The total number of students is 100.

    P(only one sport game)=Number of students playing only one sport gameTotal number of studentsP(\text{only one sport game}) = \frac{\text{Number of students playing only one sport game}}{\text{Total number of students}} P(only one sport game)=37100P(\text{only one sport game}) = \frac{37}{100} 37100\boxed{\frac{37}{100}}
