43 people like coffee and tea.
39 people like tea and hot chocolate.
67 people like coffee.
58 people like hot chocolate.

23 \(\mathscr{E} = \{\)odd numbers between 0 and 20\(\}\)
\(A = \{3, 9, 15, 17\}\)
\(B = \{5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19\}\)

Tom was asked to draw a Venn diagram for this information.
Here is his answer.

Venn diagram drawn by Tom: A only 3, 9, 15, 17; intersection 17; B only 5, 7, 11, 13, 19; nothing outside the circles

Write down two things Tom should do to make his answer fully correct. (2)

18 A walking group has 210 members.

One week, the group organised a walk on Wednesday and a walk on Saturday.

The frequency tree shows how many members went on the walks.

Frequency tree. 210 branches to Wednesday Yes 78 and No 132. From 78: Saturday Yes 53 and No 25. From 132: Saturday Yes 68 and No 64

Show the information on the Venn diagram. [4 marks]

\(\xi\) = 210 members

W = members who went on the Wednesday walk

S = members who went on the Saturday walk

Venn diagram with universal set ξ and two overlapping circles W and S, with an answer line in each of the four regions

18 A school has 86 teachers.

  • 42 are male and 44 are female.
  • \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of the male teachers have blue eyes.
  • \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) of the female teachers have blue eyes.
(a) \(\xi =\) teachers in the school

M = male teachers

B = teachers who have blue eyes

Empty Venn diagram: rectangle labelled xi containing two overlapping circles labelled M and B

Complete the Venn diagram. [3 marks]

(b) One teacher who has blue eyes is chosen at random.

Work out the probability that the teacher is male. [1 mark]
