OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a pretty friendly way of explaining sets with venn diagrams http://www.purplemath.com/modules/venndiag2.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mathematicians use very precise definitions, and they aren't to be ignored

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

alright then......... 20 ppl were surveyed right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you think 20, and not 18?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

cuz of the 2.............

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. I think you can answer the problem by yourself with ease to this point.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

is it C? i might of not understood what the 2 was for!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

read the link I posted. it is very helpful

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

mmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 people were surveyed if they liked cake, cookies or both. out of the 20 people, 18 responded positive - meaning they either like both or only one of the two. 10 people like both cake and cookies, 3 like only cookies, and 5 like only cake.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

Its NOT C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is C part of the statements I provided?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

20 ppl were surveyed not 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
