Question

use the following information to answer questions 14 and 15
out of 600 new customers who signed up for a streaming service, each was given the option to subscribe to
three different packages: a premium video package, an unlimited music package, and an ad - free experience.
of these customers, 320 chose the premium video package, 470 opted for the unlimited music package, and
310 selected the ad - free experience. a total of 240 customers subscribed to all three packages. interestingly,
every customer chose at least one of the packages. additionally, 18 customers subscribed to both the video
and music packages but not the ad - free experience, while 30 chose the video and ad - free packages but not
the music package. only 20 customers subscribed exclusively to the ad - free experience.

1. how many customers subscribed to exactly two of the three packages?

e. 220

1. how many customers subscribed to only the unlimited music package?

a. 192
b. 142
c. 158
d. 178
e. 232

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the principle of inclusion - exclusion

The formula for three - set inclusion - exclusion is \(n(A\cup B\cup C)=n(A)+n(B)+n(C)-n(A\cap B)-n(A\cap C)-n(B\cap C)+n(A\cap B\cap C)\). Let \(V\) be the set of customers who chose the premium video package, \(M\) be the set of customers who chose the unlimited music package, and \(A\) be the set of customers who chose the ad - free experience. We know \(n(V) = 320\), \(n(M)=470\), \(n(A)=310\), \(n(V\cap M\cap A)=240\), \(n(V\cap M\setminus A)=18\), \(n(V\cap A\setminus M)=30\), \(n(A\setminus(V\cup M)) = 20\).

Step2: Calculate the number of customers who subscribed to exactly two of the three packages

The number of customers who subscribed to exactly two of the three packages is \(n((V\cap M\setminus A)+(V\cap A\setminus M)+(M\cap A\setminus V))\).
We know that \(n(V\cap M)=n(V\cap M\setminus A)+n(V\cap M\cap A)=18 + 240=258\), \(n(V\cap A)=n(V\cap A\setminus M)+n(V\cap A\cap M)=30 + 240=270\), \(n(M\cap A)=x+240\) (where \(x\) is \(M\cap A\setminus V\)).
Using the inclusion - exclusion formula \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=n(V)+n(M)+n(A)-n(V\cap M)-n(V\cap A)-n(M\cap A)+n(V\cap M\cap A)\) and \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=600\) (since every customer chose at least one package).
\(600=320 + 470+310-(258)-(270)-(x + 240)+240\)
\(600=320+470+310-258-270 - x-240 + 240\)
\(600=1100-(258 + 270+x)\)
\(x=1100-(258 + 270+600)\)
\(x=1100 - 1128\) (This is wrong. Let's use another approach. The number of customers who subscribed to exactly two of the three packages is \(18+30+(n(M\cap A)-240)\).
We know that \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=n(V)+n(M)+n(A)-n(\text{exactly two})-2n(\text{all three})\)
\(600=320 + 470+310-n(\text{exactly two})-2\times240\)
\(n(\text{exactly two})=320 + 470+310-2\times240-600\)
\(n(\text{exactly two})=320+470+310 - 480-600\)
\(n(\text{exactly two})=88\)

Step3: Calculate the number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package

The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package:
First, find the number of customers who have some relation with music.
The total number of customers \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=600\), \(n(A\setminus(V\cup M)) = 20\), \(n(V\cap M\setminus A)=18\), \(n(V\cap A\setminus M)=30\), \(n(V\cap M\cap A)=240\)
The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package \(=n(M)-n(V\cap M)-n(M\cap A)+n(V\cap M\cap A)\)
We know from step 2 (using another way: total customers \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=600\). Let \(y\) be the number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package.
\(y=470-(18 + 240)-(x + 240)+240\) (where \(x = 40\) from step 2 for exactly two). Or using the formula:
The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package \(=600-(20 + 30+18)-240-(n(V\cap A)-240)-(n(M\cap A)-240)\)
Another way:
The number of customers who have non - music subscriptions: \(n(V\cup A)=n(V)+n(A)-n(V\cap A)=320+310 - 270=360\)
The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package \(=600 - 360-20=140\) (Wrong. Let's use the correct formula:
The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package \(=470-(18 + 240)-(30 + 240 - 240)+240-240\)
The number of customers who subscribed to only the unlimited music package \(=470-(18 + 240)-30\)
\(=470-258-30=182\) (Wrong. Let's use the formula \(n(\text{only }M)=n(M)-n(V\cap M)-n(M\cap A)+n(V\cap M\cap A)\)
We know \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=600\), \(n(V)=320\), \(n(A)=310\), \(n(V\cap M)=258\), \(n(V\cap A)=270\)
\(n(M\cap A)=n(V\cap M\cap A)+\text{customers who chose }M\cap A\text{ but not }V\)
From \(n(V\cup M\cup A)=n(V)+n(M)+n(A)-n(V\cap M)-n(V\cap A)-n(M\cap A)+n(V\cap M\cap A)\)
\(600=320 + 470+310-258-270 - n(M\cap A)+240\)
\(n(M\cap A)=320 + 470+310-258-270 + 240-600\)
\(n(M\cap A)=212\)
\(n(\text{only }M)=470-(258)-(212 - 240)+240-240\)
\(n(\text{only }M)=470-258 - 212+240\)
\(n(\text{only }M)=142\)

Answer:

1. A. 88
2. B. 142
