Exam questions on Sets and Venn diagrams

  1. The universal set is ξ={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}\xi=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12\}. Set AA is the set of even numbers in ξ\xi and set BB is the set of multiples of 3 in ξ\xi.
    List the elements of (A∪B)′(A\cup B)'.2 marks
  2. In a group of 44 students at an international school in Doha, 22 play football (FF), 18 play basketball (BB) and 8 play both sports. A student is chosen at random from the group.
    Find the probability that the student plays exactly one of the two sports.2 marks
  3. A survey of 50 tourists in Istanbul asks which of three sites they visited: Hagia Sophia (HH), Topkapi Palace (TT) and the Basilica Cistern (CC). n(H)=22n(H)=22, n(T)=20n(T)=20, n(C)=18n(C)=18. Also n(H∩T)=8n(H\cap T)=8, n(H∩C)=9n(H\cap C)=9 and n(T∩C)=7n(T\cap C)=7, and each of these includes the 5 tourists who visited all three sites.
    Find the number of tourists who visited exactly two of the three sites.3 marks
