Statement #1 was “I was on the honor roll last term,” statement #2 was “I belong to an academic club, such as the math club or the Spanish club,” and statement #3 was “I am majoring in at least two subjects.” Out of a sample of 100 students, 28 checked #1, 26 checked #2, and 14 checked #3, 8 checked both #1 and #2, 4 checked both #1 and #3, 3 checked both #2 and #3, and 2 checked all three statements.
