Exercise 40 Page 105

a Let's examine each statement part by part to determine the number of clients who who had visited who had visited and who had visited
  • clients had visited England, France or both. In this case, we can find the number of clients who as follows.
Thus, of clients
  • Of those clients, had visited England. This means that rest of those clients had visited
clients had visited
  • Of those clients, had visited France. In this case, we can find the number of clients who had visited by subtracting from
As a result, of clients had visited Before we create our Venn diagram, we need to find the number of clients who had visited To do that, we will first add the number of clients who had visited and
Then, we will subtract this number from
Thus, of the clients had visited Finally, we are ready to create the Venn diagram.
b Let represents a client who has visited England and represents a client who has visited France. If this is the case, let's write compound statements that represent each region of our Venn diagram.
c The formula to calculate the probability of an event is given below.
Since our number of favorable outcomes is and number of possible outcomes is we can find the probability as follows.
