In a survey of 1003 families in Calcutta, we have the following information:
63 families have neither a radio nor a TV.
794 families have a radio.
187 families have a TV.
We need to calculate how many families have both a radio and a TV.
Step-by-step Solution:
Calculate the total number of families with either a radio or a TV. Using the formula for the complement set:
n(R∪T)+n(R∪T)′= Total families n(R∪T)+63=1003Solving for
n(R∪T) :
n(R∪T)=1003−63=940Apply the principle of inclusion-exclusion from set theory:
n(R∪T)=n(R)+n(T)−n(R∩T)Substitute the known values:
940=794+187−n(R∩T)Simplify to find
n(R∩T) :
940=981−n(R∩T)n(R∩T)=981−940=41Therefore, 41 families have both a radio and a TV.
