Example Question #3 : How To Use A Venn Diagram

Venn_4

 

Let set , the set of all natural numbers.

 = { |  is a multiple of 6 }

 = { |  is a multiple of 9 }

Which of the following numbers would appear in the gray region of the Venn diagram?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The gray area represents the portion of  that is not in  - in other words, all multiples of 9 that are not also multiples of 6.

 

 

 

Therefore, 4,572, 3,438, and 8,544 can be eliminated.

, so 9,349 can be eliminated because it isn't a multiple of 9.

 and , so, as both a nonmultiple of 6 and a multiple of 9, 4.077 is the correct choice.

Example Question #2 : Venn Diagrams

If two events are independent of one another, there will be no intersection of their circles on a Venn Diagram.

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

True

Explanation:

If the two events in a problem are independent, they cannot occur at the same time.  That means their circle will not intersect and they will not have a shared middle section.

Example Question #1 : Data Analysis And Probability

On the last day of school,Adam asked each of his classmates how many days of school they missed for the entire school year.  He created a stem-and-leaf plot with the information.

0 | 0 0 2 4 5 6 8

1 | 0 0 1 2

2 | 3

4 | 7

What is the range of the number of days missed by Adam's classmates?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 7

\dpi{100} 47

\dpi{100} 0

\dpi{100} 8

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 47

Explanation:

To find the range of a set of data, simply subtract the smallest total from the largest total.  The left side of a stem-and-leaf plot represents the ten's digit, and the right side represents the one's digit. The largest value here is 47.  The smallest value is 0. 

\dpi{100} 47-0=47
