Let's analyze the problem from the image.

Given Information:

• Total professional athletes surveyed = 251
• Owned a convertible = 108
• Owned a giant screen TV = 107
• Owned a sporting goods store = 112
• Owned both a convertible and a store = 19
• Owned both a TV and a store = 50
• Owned both a convertible and a TV = 46
• Owned all three (convertible, TV, store) = 11
• Athletes who did not own any of the three items = 28

Questions to be Answered:

1. How many athletes did not own any of the three items?

   • Answer: 28 (already provided in the problem).

2. How many owned a convertible and a TV, but not a store?

   • The number of athletes who owned both a convertible and a TV is 46. However, 11 of these owned all three (including the store). Therefore, the number who owned a convertible and a TV but not a store is: $46 - 11 = 35$ Answer: 35

3. How many athletes owned a convertible or a TV?

   • To calculate this, we can apply the inclusion-exclusion principle. Let:

     • $C$ = number of athletes who own a convertible = 108
     • $T$ = number of athletes who own a TV = 107
     • $C \cap T$ = number of athletes who own both a convertible and a TV = 46

     The total number who own either a convertible or a TV (or both) is: $|C \cup T| = C + T - (C \cap T) = 108 + 107 - 46 = 169$ Answer: 169

4. How many athletes owned exactly one type of item in the survey?

   • We need to subtract those who owned more than one type from the total athletes who own at least one type of item.
   • Total owning at least one item = Total surveyed - athletes with none = 251 - 28 = 223.
   • From this, subtract the number of athletes who owned more than one item (i.e., combinations like convertible and store, TV and store, etc.): $19 \, (\text{convertible and store}) + 50 \, (\text{TV and store}) + 46 \, (\text{convertible and TV}) - 2 \times 11 \, (\text{all three to correct double-counting}) = 104$ Therefore, athletes owning exactly one item: $223 - 104 = 119$ Answer: 119

5. How many athletes owned at least one type of item in the survey?

   • This is the complement of the athletes who owned none: $251 - 28 = 223$ Answer: 223

6. How many owned a TV or a store, but not a convertible?

   • From the inclusion-exclusion principle again, for TV and store (without a convertible), we can calculate this by subtracting those who owned a convertible from the total who owned either a TV or store: $(107 + 112 - 50) - (46 - 11) = \text{needs more detailed breakdown}$

Would you like a more detailed breakdown of the last question or further explanations on any part of the solution?

Here are 5 related questions:

1. How would you find how many athletes owned exactly two of the items?
2. Can you determine how many athletes owned only a convertible?
3. How many owned only a TV and not the other two items?
4. What is the minimum number of athletes who owned a store?
5. Can we determine how many athletes owned exactly a store and nothing else?

Tip: When solving problems involving multiple sets and their intersections, the inclusion-exclusion principle is very useful!
