37) A company is considering manufacturing a new flavor of yogurt. They are considering two
flavors, lemon and cinnamon. In a sample of 100 people, it was found that



a)
b)
c)
d)
70 liked lemon
60 liked cinnamon
40 liked both types
Create a Venn diagram to model the information.
How many liked only lemon?
How many liked only cinnamon?
How many liked exactly one of the two (that is they liked one but not the other)?
38) 150 students were asked which of three restaurants they have been to this year. The results of
the survey were as follows:
50 have been to Olive Garden
45 have been to Oregano’s
40 have been to Outback
10 have been to both Olive Garden and Oregano’s
15 have been to both Olive Garden and Outback
20 have been to both Oregano’s and Outback
5 have been to all three
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Create a Venn diagram to model the information.
How many did not go to any of the three?
How many have been to Olive Garden or Oregano’s?
How many have been to Outback or Oregano’s, but not Olive Garden?
How many have been to exactly two of the three?
Answers: 1) The set of Natural numbers greater than or equal to 4.
