Maximizing PC Set Options: Venn Diagram Equation in a Computer Shop

In summary, a, b, c, $$S_1$$, $$S_2$$, and $$S_3$$ represent different sets of PC that are sold in a computer shop, with each set having certain combinations of features such as crystal screen, printer, and scanner. The equation and conclusions provided help find the value of $$x$$, which represents the maximum number of PC sets that can be sold without any overlap in features.

Homework Statement
In a computer shop, there are $33$ PC set that are sold:


1. with 18 sets of PC have crystal screen PC included,

2. with 12 sets of PC have printer included,

3. with 6 sets of PC have scanner system included,

4. with 3 sets of PC that include all(printer, scanner system,

crystal screen pc)
Relevant Equations
x=33-(18-(a+b+3)+12-(a+c+3)+6-(b+c+3) + ( a+b+c +3 ) )

We want to find $$x$$ which is $$33-|S_1 \cup S_2 \cup S_3|=x$$ and get $$x$$ that is max

From the graph :
It means that inside $$18$$ crystal screen PC, there is a set that also includes a scanner or printer and, there is a set that contains only crystal screen.

1. ##S_1\implies 18=a+b+3+## crystal screen only
2. ##S_2\implies 12 = a+c+3+## printer only
3. ##S_3\implies 6=b+c +3+## scanner only

$$x=33-(18-(a+b+3)+12-(a+c+3)+6-(b+c+3) + ( a+b+c +3 ) )=x\\
33-(27-a-b-a-c-b-c + (a+b+c+3))=\\
33-(30 -a-b-c)=\\
3+a+b+c =x\\
a+b+c=x-3$$

More conclusions:

- $$a+c \le 9$$
- $$b+c \le 3$$
- $$a+b \le 15$$

What is the relation with $$x$$ and how do I get the actual result?

In words, what do a, b, c, S1, S2, and S3 represent?

a,b,c you can see the diagram i drew,
a means PC set include crystal screen and printer
b means PC set include crystal screen and scanner
c mean PC set include scanner and printer 1. $$S_1$$ means 18=a+b+3+crystal screen only
2. $$S_2$$ means 12 = a+c+3+ printer only
3. $$S_3$$ means 6=b+c +3+ scanner only
 

1. What is a Venn diagram and how does it relate to PC set options?

A Venn diagram is a visual representation of the relationships between different sets or groups of items. In the context of a computer shop, a Venn diagram can be used to show the overlapping features and options of different PC sets, making it easier to compare and choose the best option for your needs.

2. How can a Venn diagram help me choose the best PC set for my needs?

A Venn diagram can help you see the similarities and differences between different PC sets, making it easier to identify which set has the features and options that are most important to you. It can also help you visualize how different features and options overlap between sets, allowing you to make a more informed decision.

3. Can I create my own Venn diagram for PC set options?

Yes, there are many tools and software programs available that allow you to create custom Venn diagrams. You can also draw a Venn diagram by hand using a pen and paper if you prefer. Just make sure to accurately represent the features and options of each PC set.

4. What should I consider when using a Venn diagram to compare PC set options?

When using a Venn diagram to compare PC set options, it's important to consider the specific features and options that are important to you. You should also pay attention to the size of the overlapping areas, as this can indicate how many features and options are shared between sets.

5. Is a Venn diagram the only way to compare PC set options?

No, a Venn diagram is just one visual tool that can be used to compare PC set options. Other methods, such as creating a table or using a spreadsheet, can also be effective for comparing features and options. It's important to choose the method that works best for you and makes it easier to make an informed decision.
