Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Venn Diagrams
If Jill likes blue, yellow, tan and green, and Doug likes red, tan, black and green, which Venn diagram is correct?
The middle portion of the diagram is the area that both circles share, so the color name that belongs in both circles should go in the middle area. Doug and Jill both like green and tan, so those colors should go in the middle. Only Jill likes blue and yellow, so these go on Jill's side. Only Doug likes red and black, so these go on Doug's side.
Example Question #1 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
The following Venn diagram depicts the number of students who like soccer, football, or both. How many students like soccer but not football?
16
8
28
12
12
A Venn diagram is used to demonstrate the number of people (or things) in particular categories. The regions of the circle that are overlapping indicate the number of individuals that belong to multiple groups. Therefore, based on this diagram, 12 students like soccer only, 16 like football only, and 8 like both.
Example Question #1 : Venn Diagrams
The Venn diagram above represents the results from a recent survey given to middle school students. Category represents the amount of students that only like pizza. Category
represents the amount of students that only chicken nuggets.
What fraction of the students only like chicken nuggets?
Since exactly of a total
percent of the students only like chicken nuggets, the solution is:
Example Question #1 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
The Venn diagram above represents the results from a recent survey given to middle school students. Category represents the amount of students that only like pizza. Category
represents the amount of students that only chicken nuggets.
What fraction of the students only like pizza?
Since category represents the total number of students that only like pizza, the correct answer is that
percent is equivalent to
.
Example Question #1651 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Aracely posted a survey question using one of her social network accounts. She grouped the results into three categories. The response results are represented by the Venn diagram shown above.
Group represents the respondents that answered "yes" to the survey question. Group
represents the respondents that answered "no" to the survey question. And, the overlapping part of the diagram represents the respondents that answered "maybe" to the survey question.
What percentage of the respondents answered "no" to Aracely's survey question?
The Venn diagram has three separate categories. Category represents the respondents that answered "yes" to the survey question, category
represents the respondents that answered "no" and the overlapping portion of the diagram represents the respondents that answered "maybe" to the survey question.
Category .
Thus, of the respondents answered "no" to the survey question.
Example Question #11 : Venn Diagrams
Aracely posted a survey question using one of her social network accounts. She grouped the results into three categories. The response results are represented by the Venn diagram shown above.
Group represents the respondents that answered "yes" to the survey question. Group
represents the respondents that answered "no" to the survey question. And, the overlapping part of the diagram represents the respondents that answered "maybe" to the survey question.
What fraction represents the amount of respondents that answered "yes" to the survey question?
The Venn diagram shows that exactly percent of the survey respondents answered "yes" to the survey question.
Thus, to find the fraction equivalent we need to rewrite
From here we simplify the fraction.
Example Question #1 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
The Venn diagram shown above has three categories that represent information about the Wildcats varsity baseball team.
Category represents the number of players on the team that are left-handed.
Category represents the numebr of players on the team that are pitchers.
And, the overlapping portion of the Venn diagram represents the number of players that are left-handed pitchers.
Given that and that there are
players in the overlapping region of the diagram.
How many players are right-handed pitchers?
Since the question provides the information that there are left-handed pitchers and
total pitchers, one can infer that the number of right-handed pitchers is equal to the difference between the total number of pitchers and the number of left-handed pitchers.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #6 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
The Venn diagram shown above has three categories that represent information about the Wildcats varsity baseball team.
Category represents the number of players on the team that are left-handed.
Category represents the numebr of players on the team that are pitchers.
And, the overlapping portion of the Venn diagram represents the number of players that are left-handed pitchers.
Given that and that there are
players in the overlapping region of the diagram.
What fraction of the players are only left-handed?
Since, there are left-handed players total and
left-handed pitchers there must be
players that are left-handed but do not pitch, because
.
To find what fraction this represents we need to do:
Example Question #7 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
In the above Venn diagram category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the flute, while category
represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the bass.
If of Kevin's friends only play the flute and
of his friends only play the bass, then what fraction of Kevin's friends play both instruments?
To find the fraction of Kevin's friends that play both the bass and the flute, consider that the fraction represents all of Kevin's friends in this senario.
Thus, the solution can be found by adding those that only play flute with those that only play bass and subtracting that final answer from the fraqction that represents all of Kevin's friends:
Example Question #1 : How To Use A Venn Diagram
In the above Venn diagram category represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the flute, while category
represents the number of Kevin's friends that play the bass.
If of Kevin's friends only play the flute and
of his friends only play the bass, then what percentage of Kevin's friends only only play the bass?
of Kevin's friends only play the bass.
Thus, to find the fractional equivalent we need to multiply the fraction by 100.
The solution becomes:
