Math Problem Statement
] In a group of 90 students, each of whom has taken at least Mathematics or Computer science
or Statistics, it was found 40 students having Mathematics, 50 students having Computer science and
60 students having Statistics. 10 students have Mathematics as well as Computer science, 40 students
have Mathematics as well as Statistics and 10 students have all the three subjects. Find the number of
students who have Computer science and Statistics but not Mathematics.
Solution
To solve this problem, we will use set theory and Venn diagrams to count the number of students who have Computer Science and Statistics but not Mathematics.
Let's define:
- as the set of students who have taken Mathematics.
- as the set of students who have taken Computer Science.
- as the set of students who have taken Statistics.
From the problem, we are given:
- Total number of students = 90
- (students taking Mathematics)
- (students taking Computer Science)
- (students taking Statistics)
- (students taking both Mathematics and Computer Science)
- (students taking both Mathematics and Statistics)
- (students taking all three subjects)
We need to find the number of students who have taken both Computer Science and Statistics but not Mathematics, which can be represented as .
Step 1: Find the number of students who take Computer Science and Statistics
We know that , meaning 10 students have taken all three subjects. To find the total number of students who have taken both Computer Science and Statistics, we will use the formula: But is the union, and we can break it down by excluding the overlap with . Instead, focus on how each total student population adds up.
Step 2: Substitution!
