Question

Forty families were surveyed about the places they went to on the weekend. The places were the circus (C), the museum (M) and the park (P).

16 families went to the circus

22 families went to the museum

14 families went to the park

4 families went to all three places

7 families went to both the circus and the museum, but not the park

3 families went to both the circus and the park, but not the museum

1 family went to the park only

Draw a Venn diagram to represent the given information using sets labelled C, M and P. Complete the diagram to include the number of families represented in each region.

[4]
a.

Find the number of families who

(i) went to the circus only;

(ii) went to the museum and the park but not the circus;

(iii) did not go to any of the three places on the weekend.

[4]
b.

A family is chosen at random from the group of 40 families. Find the probability that the family went to

(i) the circus;

(ii) two or more places;

(iii) the park or the circus, but not the museum;

(iv) the museum, given that they also went to the circus.

[8]
c.

Two families are chosen at random from the group of 40 families.

Find the probability that both families went to the circus.

Note: Award (A1)(ft) for numerator, (A1) for denominator. Follow through from their Venn diagram. Answer must be less than 1 otherwise award (A0)(A0). Award (A0)(A0) if answer is given as incorrect reduced fraction without working.

c.

\(\frac{{16}}{{40}} \times \frac{{15}}{{39}}\)     (A1)(A1)(ft)

Note: Award (A1) for multiplication of their probabilities, (A1)(ft) for their correct probabilities.
