A special-interest group has conducted a survey concerning a ban on hand guns. Note: A rifle is a gun, but it is not a hand gun. The survey yielded the following results for the 1000 households that responded.

267 own a hand gun.
437 own a rifle.
493 supported the ban on hand guns.
136 own both a hand gun and a rifle.
206 own a rifle but no hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns.
70 own a hand gun and support the ban on hand guns.
48 own both a hand gun and a rifle and also support the ban on hand guns.

How many of the surveyed households:

(a) only own a hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns?


(b) do not own a gun and support the ban on hand guns?


(c) do not own a gun and do not support the ban on hand guns?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)109 of the surveyed households only own a hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns.

b)328 of the surveyed households do not own a gun and support the ban on hand guns

c )112 of the surveyed households do not own a gun and do not support the ban on handguns.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must build the Venn's Diagram of this set.

I am going to say that:

-The set A represents those who own a hand gun.

-The set B represents those who own a rifle

-The set C represents those who support the ban of handguns.

-D represents those who do not own a gun and do not support the ban on hand guns.

We have that:

[tex]A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

In which [tex]a[/tex] are those that only own a hand gun, [tex]A \cap B[/tex] are those who own both a handgun and a rifle, [tex]A \cap C[/tex] are those who own a hand gun and support the ban on handguns, and [tex]A \cap B \cap C[/tex] are those who own both a hand gun and a rifle, and also support the ban on hand guns.

By the same logic, we have:

[tex]B = b + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

In which [tex]b[/tex] are those who only own a rifle, and [tex]B \cap C[/tex] are those who own a rifle and support the ban on handguns.

[tex]C = c + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

In which [tex]c[/tex] are those who support the ban on hand guns and do not own any handguns.

This diagram has the following subsets:

[tex]a,b,c,D(A \cap B), (A \cap C), (B \cap C), (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

There were 1000 households surveyed, so:

[tex]a + b + c + D + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 1000[/tex]

We start finding the values from the intersection of three sets.

Solution:

48 own both a hand gun and a rifle and also support the ban on hand guns.

[tex]A \cap B \cap C = 48[/tex]

70 own a hand gun and support the ban on hand guns:

[tex](A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 70[/tex]

[tex]A \cap C = 70 - 48[/tex]

[tex]A \cap C = 22[/tex]

206 own a rifle but no hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns.

[tex]b = 206[/tex].

136 own both a hand gun and a rifle:

[tex](A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 136[/tex]

[tex]A \cap B = 136 - 48[/tex]

[tex]A \cap B = 88[/tex]

493 supported the ban on hand guns.

[tex]C = 493[/tex]

437 own a rifle:

[tex]B = 437[/tex]

267 own a hand gun:

[tex]A = 267[/tex]

a) How many of the surveyed households only own a hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns?

This is the value of [tex]a[/tex], that we can find from the following equation:

[tex]A = a + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

[tex]267 = a + 88 + 22 + 48[/tex]

[tex]a = 267 - 158[/tex]

[tex]a = 109[/tex]

109 of the surveyed households only own a hand gun and do not support the ban on hand guns.

b) How many of the surveyed households do not own a gun and support the ban on hand guns?

This is the value of [tex]c[/tex], that we can find from the following equation:

[tex]C = c + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

[tex]493 = c + 22 + (B \cap C) + 48[/tex]

Here, we also have to find [tex]B \cap C[/tex], that are those who own a rifle and support the ban on hand guns. We can find this from the following equation:

[tex]B = b + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C)[/tex]

[tex]437 = 206 + (B \cap C) + 88 + 48[/tex]

[tex]B \cap C = 437 - 342[/tex]

[tex]B \cap C = 95[/tex]

So

[tex]493 = c + 22 + (B \cap C) + 48[/tex]

[tex]493 = c + 22 + 95 + 48[/tex]

[tex]c = 493 - 165[/tex]

[tex]c = 328[/tex]

328 of the surveyed households do not own a gun and support the ban on hand guns.

a) How many of the surveyed households  do not own a gun and do not support the ban on hand guns?

This is the value of d, that can be found from the following equation:

[tex]a + b + c + D + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 1000[/tex]

[tex]109 + 206 + 328 + D + 88 + 22 + 95 + 40 = 1000[/tex]

[tex]D = 1000 - 888[/tex]

[tex]D = 112[/tex]

112 of the surveyed households do not own a gun and do not support the ban on handguns.
