Suppose that you are drawing a Venn diagram to sort and tabulate the results of a survey. If results are being tabulated along gender lines, explain why only a circle representing women is needed, rather than two separate circles representing the women surveyed and the men surveyed.

Suppose that you decide to use two sets, M and W, to sort and tabulate the responses for men and women in a survey. Describe the set of people represented by regions II and IV in the Venn diagram shown. What conclusion can you draw?

In Exercises 51–54, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. A survey problem must present the information in exactly the same order in which I determine cardinalities from innermost to outermost region.

Exercises 52–54 are based on the graph that shows the percentage of smokers and nonsmokers suffering from various ailments. Use the graph to determine whether each statement makes sense. I represented the data for depression using the following Venn diagram:

Exercises 52–54 are based on the graph that shows the percentage of smokers and nonsmokers suffering from various ailments. Use the graph to determine whether each statement makes sense. I improved the Venn diagram in Exercise 52 by adding a third circle for nonsmokers.

Exercises 52–54 are based on the graph that shows the percentage of smokers and nonsmokers suffering from various ailments. Use the graph to determine whether each statement makes sense. I used a single Venn diagram to represent all the data displayed by the bar graph.

In Exercises 55–58, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. In a survey, 110 students were taking mathematics, 90 were taking psychology, and 20 were taking neither. Thus, 220 students were surveyed.

In Exercises 55–58, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. If \(A \cap B=\varnothing\), then \(n(A \cup B)=n(A)+n(B)\).

In Exercises 55–58, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. When filling in cardinalities for regions in a two-set Venn diagram, the innermost region, the intersection of the two sets, should be the last region to be filled in.

In Exercises 55–58, determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. \(n\left(A^{\prime}\right)\) can be obtained by subtracting n(A) from n(U).

This group activity is intended to provide practice in the use of Venn diagrams to sort responses to a survey. The group will determine the topic of the survey. Although you will not actually conduct the survey, it might be helpful to imagine carrying out the survey using the students on your campus. a. In your group, decide on a topic for the survey. b. Devise three questions that the pollster will ask to the people who are interviewed. c. Construct a Venn diagram that will assist the pollster in sorting the answers to the three questions. The Venn diagram should contain three intersecting circles within a universal set and eight regions. d. Describe what each of the regions in the Venn diagram represents in terms of the questions in your poll.
