20 120 gardeners were asked if they grow carrots (\(C\)) or potatoes (\(P\)) or tomatoes (\(T\))

Of these gardeners

43 grow carrots
12 grow carrots and potatoes and tomatoes
18 grow carrots and potatoes
27 grow carrots and tomatoes
32 grow potatoes and tomatoes
29 do not grow carrots or potatoes or tomatoes

The number of these gardeners who grow only potatoes is equal to the number of these gardeners who grow only tomatoes.

(a) Complete the Venn diagram to show this information. (3)

(b) Find \(\mathrm{n}(T' \cap C)\) (1)

One of the gardeners who grows carrots is chosen at random.

(c) Calculate the probability that this gardener also grows potatoes. (2)

\(\mathscr{E} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\}\)
\(A = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12\}\)
\(B = \{3, 6, 9, 12\}\)
\(C = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11\}\)

(a) List the members of the set
(i) \(A \cup B\)
(ii) \(B'\) (2)
\(\mathscr{E}\)\(\cap\)\(\cup\)\(\varnothing\)\(\in\)\(\notin\)
(b) Write a symbol from the box on each dotted line to make each of the following a true statement.
(i) \(A \cap C = \ldots\ldots\)
(ii) \(13 \ldots\ldots\; \mathscr{E}\) (2)

21 The Venn diagram shows information about the numbers of items in set \(A\), set \(B\) and set \(C\), where \(x\) is an integer.

Venn diagram with three overlapping circles A, B and C in the universal set: A only 3x, A and B only x + 2, all three x, B only 4x, A and C only x + 7, B and C only 2x, C only 5x, outside all circles 3x + 2

Given that \(\mathrm{n}(A \cup B)' = 26\)

find \(\mathrm{n}(A' \cap C)\)
