  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
    
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules. If there is a conflict amongst multiple helpers feel free to ping “Helper Mod”
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

How many said they liked fruit?

dim granite
#

18

ancient snow
#

What's the sum of those?

dim granite
#

28

ancient snow
#

How many were interviewed?

dim granite
#

dim granite

#

...yes, and that's how you know some people said they liked both.

dim granite
#

but i thought only 22 were surveyed

ancient snow
#

...yes.

#

They were.

dim granite
#

wait im a bit confused

ancient snow
#

The fact that 28 is greater than 22 is how you know that some people said they like both fruits and vegetables.

dim granite
#

ohhhh

ancient snow
#

Because that's the only way you can have these numbers.

Similarly, if, say, 6 people said they liked fruit and 10 people said they liked vegetables, that would be a sum of 16, meaning some people must have said they didn't like either.

dim granite
#

ohhhh okay i get it tyty

ancient snow
#

Although the given answer is technically incorrect.

#

At least six people must have said they liked both.

dim granite
#

ohhh

ancient snow
#

dim granite
#

i understand them like as a singular concept but

#

im kinda confused with when i should use the way to solve this for specific problems

#

like what keywords can i use etc

modest coyote
#

for identifying these kinds of problems?

#

hmm

#

with compound, it obviously uses and

#

dependent events would imply that one relies on the other

dim granite
#

oop slr

modest coyote
#

#

dim granite
#
