The question, in short

Complete a three-set Venn diagram for 40 people taking singing, dancing and acting lessons, using given counts and a relationship involving the all-three region.

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

Part (a) · 3 marks

Fill in the missing Venn diagram regions using the given totals and the condition linking singing-only to all three lessons.

  1. 1S ∩ A only = 3, D only = 7
  2. 2Let all three = t, so S only = 4t
  3. 3S total: 4t + 6 + 3 + t = 19, so 5t = 10, t = 2
  4. 4All three = 2, S only = 4 × 2 = 8
  5. 5D ∩ A only = 40 − (8 + 6 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 10) = 4, outside all circles = 0

AnswerS only: 8 S ∩ D only: 6 D only: 7 S ∩ A only: 3 S ∩ D ∩ A: 2 D ∩ A only: 4 A only: 10 Outside all circles: 0

Part (b) · 1 mark
