Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem involves a Venn diagram with two events: (students in the Tennis Club) and (students in the Computer Club). Let's analyze the data and compute the probabilities for the given questions.
Step 1: Count the members in each group based on the Venn diagram
- Total students: (including Karen, who is outside both circles)
- Tennis Club ():
- Members: Yolanda, Justin, Charmaine, Ann, Brian.
- Total = 5 members.
- Computer Club ():
- Members: Alan, Elsa, Lashonda, Pablo, Ann, Brian.
- Total = 6 members.
- Overlap ():
- Members: Ann, Brian.
- Total = 2 members.
- Students outside both clubs (Karen):
- Total = 1.
Step 2: Compute probabilities
We write probabilities as fractions of the total students, .

Would you like a detailed step-by-step explanation of each calculation? Or shall we proceed to analyze related concepts? Here are 5 related questions:
- What is the probability that a randomly selected student is only in the Tennis Club?
- What is the probability that a student is only in the Computer Club?
- How would the probabilities change if Karen joined one of the clubs?
- Can you express in terms of conditional probabilities?
- How does the Venn diagram help in visualizing disjoint and overlapping events?
Tip: Remember that probabilities of events must always sum up to across all possible outcomes.

P(A) = Number of students in A / Total number of students
P(B) = Number of students in B / Total number of students
P(A ∩ B) = Number of students in both A and B / Total number of students
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
