Aracely posted a survey question using one of her social network accounts. She grouped the results into three categories. The response results are represented by the Venn diagram shown above.

Group  represents the respondents that answered "yes" to the survey question. Group  represents the respondents that answered "no" to the survey question. And, the overlapping part of the diagram represents the respondents that answered "maybe" to the survey question. 

What percentage of the respondents answered "maybe" to Aracely's survey question?  

Possible Answers:

 

 

 

 

Correct answer:

 

Explanation:

The overlapping portion of the Venn diagram represents the percentage of respondents that answered "maybe" to Aracely's survey question.

Since the diagram shows that exactly  percent of the respondents answered "yes" or "no" to the question

.

The solution is the total percent population take away the percent that answered "yes" or "no":

The Venn diagram shown above has three categories that represent information about the Wildcats varsity baseball team. 

Category  represents the number of players on the team that are left-handed.
Category  represents the numebr of players on the team that are pitchers. 
And, the overlapping portion of the Venn diagram represents the number of players that are left-handed pitchers.

What fraction of the players are left-handed pitchers?  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since there are  left-handed pitchers and  total players that are either left-handed, pitchers or both the solution is:

 .

The amount of students that like both pizza and chicken nuggets is going to be all of the students minus those that like only chicken nuggets and only pizza.

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Common Part With A Venn Diagram

If Jill likes blue, yellow, tan and green, and Doug likes red, tan, black and green, which Venn diagram is correct?

Possible Answers:

Venn3

Venn4

Venn2

Venn1

Venn5

Correct answer:

Venn1

Explanation:

The middle portion of the diagram is the area that both circles share, so the color name that belongs in both circles should go in the middle area. Doug and Jill both like green and tan, so those colors should go in the middle. Only Jill likes blue and yellow, so these go on Jill's side. Only Doug likes red and black, so these go on Doug's side.
