MHB Confusing Venn Diagram problem

AI Thread Summary
A student is struggling with a Venn diagram problem involving 50 Grade 6 students and their favorite types of kid-friendly YouTube content. The breakdown includes preferences for Gaming, How-To, and Comedy videos, with some students liking multiple categories. After creating a diagram, the student notices a discrepancy, as the total adds up to 49 instead of the expected 50. Forum members agree that the issue likely lies with the problem's construction rather than the student's diagram. The discussion highlights the complexity of Venn diagrams and the importance of accurate data representation.

Hi there, I have this performance task on Math and I'm struggling with this Venn diagram problem.

50 Grade 6 students were surveyed on their favorite types of kid-friendly content on Youtube. 17 liked Gaming Videos only, 6 liked Gaming Videos and How-To videos, 2 liked How-To and Comedy videos, 6 liked Gaming and Comedy, 5 liked Comedy videos only, 1 liked How-To videos only, 8 liked all three, and 4 chose none of the three.

I have done my own version of the diagram, which is shown here:

I don't know if I'm right or not though so I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to MHB, TheDoctor! (Wave)

Your diagram looks correct to me. (Yes)

Thanks so much! Though, when I add all the numbers inside the diagram, 49 is the sum, but it's supposed to be 50. 50-49=1, will I add the 1 to the 4 who didn't like any of the three?

I would say the error was made by whomever constructed the problem, not you. :D

Haha, it does get quite confusing so that makes sense. Thanks again!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
