129 - 49 = 80 80 people liked only regular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many liked mint?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

105 - 49 = 56 56 people liked mint only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many liked either one or both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the other?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

well....80 liked only regular and 56 liked only mint and 49 people liked both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you add all them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is asking of those who sampled, how many liked either one, or the other, or both? what do I write in the box?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I am having trouble understanding the question

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

@jim_thompson5910 ...a little help here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the question I am posting up

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

would it be 196 ? What do you think ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

let me see....maybe you do just add....80 + 56 + 49 = 185 ? because 80 just liked regular and 56 just liked mint and 49 liked both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup thats right, Of those sampled how many liked neither

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

196 - 185 = 11 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help in this question that I am posting up? Are you ready?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I will see what I can do...I can't make no promises

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I can't do this...sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I post another one?

Hint: if a set has n elements, then it has 2^n subsets and (2^n) - 1 proper subsets

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

Too bad this is not multiple choice....I am not sure...sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(1/2)(# of subsets) = (# of proper subsets) (1/2)*2^n = (2^n) - 1 2^n = 2*(2^n) - 2*1 2^n = 2*(2^n) - 2 2^n - 2*(2^n) = - 2 2^n(1 - 2) = - 2 2^n(-1) = - 2 -1*2^n = -2 keep going to solve for n
