Suppose that among a group of sick people
10 have a headache (h),
10 have a stomach ache (s), and
10 have a fever (f).
If
4 have (h) and (s),
4 have (s) and (f),
4 have (h) and (f), and
1 person has all three symptoms,
then there were 19 people in this group who had at least one of the
three symptoms.
True or False?
True, There were 19 people in this group who had at least one of the three symptoms.
Explanations.
Let H be the set of all people having headache. Given number of people belongs to set H is 10, n(H)=10
Let S be the set of all people having stomach ache. Given number of people belongs to set S is 10, n(S)=10
Let F be the set of all people having fever . Given number of people belongs to set F is 10, n(F)=10
Also given
number of people belonging to sets H and S=4,
number of people belonging to sets S and F=4,
number of people belonging to sets H and F=4,
Finally 1 person has all three symptoms, means
Then is the group of all people having atleast one of the three symptoms.
Then number of people in the group having at least of the symptoms is
