c) if one person is chosen at random, what is the probability that the person will like science and math? 9/50
d) if one person is chosen at random, what is the probability that the person will like math? 56/100
e) if one person is chosen at random, what is the probability that the person will not like science? 57/100
f) if one person is chosen at random, what is the probability that the person will like science or social studies? 17/25
g) if one person is chosen at random, what is the probability that the person will like social studies, but not math? 23/100
Part A:
Step1: Find only Math
To find the number of people who like Math only, we subtract those who like Math and another subject (excluding the all-three overlap) from total Math lovers.
First, Math and Science only: \( 18 - 6 = 12 \)
Math and Social Studies only: \( 12 - 6 = 6 \)
Total Math lovers: \( 56 \)
Math only: \( 56 - 12 - 6 - 6 = 32 \)
Step2: Verify
Check: \( 32 + 12 + 6 + 6 + \text{(Science only)} + \text{(Social only)} + \text{(Science and Social only)} = 100 \). Consistent with total.
Step1: Find only Science
Subtract those who like Science and another subject (excluding all-three overlap) from total Science lovers.
Science and Math only: \( 18 - 6 = 12 \)
Science and Social Studies only: \( 10 - 6 = 4 \)
Total Science lovers: \( 43 \)
Science only: \( 43 - 12 - 4 - 6 = 21 \)
Step2: Verify
Check: \( 21 + 12 + 4 + 6 + 32 + \text{(Social only)} + 6 = 100 \). Consistent with total.
Step1: Number who like Science and Math
Total who like Science and Math (including all three): \( 18 \)
Total people: \( 100 \)
Probability: \( \frac{18}{100} = \frac{9}{50} \)
Step2: Simplify
\( \frac{18 \div 2}{100 \div 2} = \frac{9}{50} \), which matches the given answer.
