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:

  • MM as the set of students who have taken Mathematics.
  • CC as the set of students who have taken Computer Science.
  • SS as the set of students who have taken Statistics.

From the problem, we are given:

  • Total number of students = 90
  • M=40|M| = 40 (students taking Mathematics)
  • C=50|C| = 50 (students taking Computer Science)
  • S=60|S| = 60 (students taking Statistics)
  • MC=10|M \cap C| = 10 (students taking both Mathematics and Computer Science)
  • MS=40|M \cap S| = 40 (students taking both Mathematics and Statistics)
  • MCS=10|M \cap C \cap S| = 10 (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 CSMc|C \cap S \cap M^c|.

Step 1: Find the number of students who take Computer Science and Statistics

We know that MCS=10|M \cap C \cap S| = 10, 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: CS=C+SCS|C \cap S| = |C| + |S| - |C \cup S| But CS|C \cup S| is the union, and we can break it down by excluding the overlap with MM. Instead, focus on how each total student population adds up.
