Given:
Total number of gym members = 685
257 said they use the treadmill, 157 said they use the elliptical, and 85 said they use both.
To find:
a. The venn diagram.
b. The probability that a member uses the treadmill only?
Solution:
(a)
We have,
Total number of gym members = 685
Treadmill user = 257
Elliptical user = 157
Who use both = 85
Only treadmill user is:
[tex]257-85=172[/tex]
Only Elliptical used
[tex]157-85=72[/tex]
Therefore, the venn diagram for the given situation is shown below.
(b)
The member who use treadmill only = 172
Total user = 685
The probability that a member uses the treadmill only is:
[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{\text{Only treadmill users}}{\text{Total users}}[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a member uses the treadmill only is [tex]\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex].
