Foo overlapping sets, I like to always translate to a table, takes 15 secs.
Here:
Let's stick with the number of symbols instead of going back to the total number of people.
(blank) // College // No College // Total
-30k // 16 // 6 // 22
+30k // 12 // 6 // 18
Total // 28 // 12 // 40
So, first question:
Number of people with college education: 28
Number of people who make -30k: 22
Number of people who have both (need to be substracted since counted twice): 16
Total: 28+22-16= 34
So 34/40=17/20
Second question:
It's quite immediate, the number is at the crossing of column "College" and "-30k", so 16
Total: 16/40=2/5

Each symbol represents 50 workers in a sample of 2000
=> There are 40 symbols
If one worker is selected at random from the surveyed 2,000, the chance that the worker earns less than $30,000 a year or has a college education or both is [17/20]
=> 6 symbols
=> % those both earn more than $30k and No college education = \(\frac{6}{40} = \frac{3}{20}\)
=> % those earning less than $30,000 a year or having a college education or both: \(1 - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{17}{20}\)
If one worker is selected at random from the surveyed 2,000, the chance that the worker will both earn less than $30,000 a year and have a college education is [2/5]
=> 16 symbols
=> % = \(\frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5}\)
=> There are 40 symbols
If one worker is selected at random from the surveyed 2,000, the chance that the worker earns less than $30,000 a year or has a college education or both is [17/20]
- Earn less than $30k
- Has a college education
- Both
=> 6 symbols
=> % those both earn more than $30k and No college education = \(\frac{6}{40} = \frac{3}{20}\)
=> % those earning less than $30,000 a year or having a college education or both: \(1 - \frac{3}{20} = \frac{17}{20}\)
