Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 2 marks

Complete the Venn diagram for sets C and B within the universal set of 50 families, using 23 car owners, 10 with both, and 6 with neither.

  1. 1C ∩ B = 10
  2. 2C only = 23 − 10 = 13
  3. 3Outside both = 6
  4. 4B only = 50 − 13 − 10 − 6 = 21

AnswerC only: 13 C ∩ B: 10 B only: 21 Outside both: 6

Part (b) · 1 mark

Using the given family counts, find n(C ∪ B), the number of families owning a car or a bicycle.

  1. 1n(C ∪ B) = 13 + 10 + 21 = 44
