Question

A group of 100 customers in a restaurant are asked which fruits they like from a choice of mangoes, bananas and kiwi fruits. The results are as follows.

     15 like all three fruits

     22 like mangoes and bananas

     33 like mangoes and kiwi fruits

     27 like bananas and kiwi fruits

     8 like none of these three fruits

     \(x\) like only mangoes

Copy the following Venn diagram and correctly insert all values from the above information.

[3]
a.

The number of customers that like only mangoes is equal to the number of customers that like only kiwi fruits. This number is half of the number of customers that like only bananas.

Complete your Venn diagram from part (a) with this additional information in terms of \(x\).

[2]
b.

The number of customers that like only mangoes is equal to the number of customers that like only kiwi fruits. This number is half of the number of customers that like only bananas.

Find the value of \(x\).

[2]
c.

The number of customers that like only mangoes is equal to the number of customers that like only kiwi fruits. This number is half of the number of customers that like only bananas.

Write down the number of customers who like

(i)     mangoes;

(ii)     mangoes or bananas.

[2]
d.

The number of customers that like only mangoes is equal to the number of customers that like only kiwi fruits. This number is half of the number of customers that like only bananas.

A customer is chosen at random from the 100 customers. Find the probability that this customer

(i)     likes none of the three fruits;

(ii)     likes only two of the fruits;

(iii)     likes all three fruits given that the customer likes mangoes and bananas.

[4]
e.

The number of customers that like only mangoes is equal to the number of customers that like only kiwi fruits. This number is half of the number of customers that like only bananas.

Two customers are chosen at random from the 100 customers. Find the probability that the two customers like none of the three fruits.
