I'M FREAKING OUT! D: Sara is reviewing recent orders at her deli to determine which meats she should order. She found that of 1,000 orders, 390 customers ordered turkey, 345 customers ordered ham, and 200 customers ordered neither turkey nor ham. Based on these data, how many of the next 1,000 customers will order both turkey and ham? Show your work and use complete sentences.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

which class is this for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

statistic in Algebra 2

OpenStudy (tylerd):

oh i c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you can help?

OpenStudy (tylerd):

i think so but i gotta think about this for a min

OpenStudy (tylerd):

ok so out of 1000 customers we know that 200 of them did not order either turkey or ham. so I suppose we can say that 1000-200=800 orders 800 orders and each of those could be either turkey or ham or both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, but it says different

OpenStudy (tylerd):

so im wondering if we say 800 orders = 390x+345x or 800=735x

OpenStudy (tylerd):

not sure yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a weird question. :( What am I looking for?

OpenStudy (tylerd):

where the x represents the number of customers out of 1000 that ordered turkey and ham.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sso would it be 735?

OpenStudy (tylerd):

no

OpenStudy (tylerd):

it has to be lower then 800 though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How low?

OpenStudy (tylerd):

@tejasvir

OpenStudy (tylerd):

actually it may be 800=390x+345y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, using the conditional formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200 customers ordered neither turkey nor ham, that was suppose to be 300 customers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know they are asking for the conditional prob. so p( A given B)=p(A)+ p(B)-p(A intersects B)

OpenStudy (tylerd):

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (tylerd):

now im freakin out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Draw a rectangle to represent the set of 1000 orders. Call this set U (for universal set) |dw:1407891752303:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then inside this rectangle, draw overlapping circles A and B where A = set of people who ordered turkey B = set of people who ordered ham |dw:1407891846570:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

We are told that "200 customers ordered neither turkey nor ham" so the number 200 goes on the outside of either circle, but inside the rectangle |dw:1407891897619:dw|
