For Q11 I got E, If it is a star, then it is a small pinprick of light in the night sky.
Is that correct?
E for Q11?

A & B not C = 4
A & C not B = 7
A & B & C = 8
Only C =4
B & C but not A = 5
Only B = 1

????

PLEASE HELP
FOR 15 I GOT F



For problems 11 through 12, your complex statement is "Small pinpricks of light in the night sky are stars."



11. The converse of the statement is:

AIf it is a small pinprick in the night sky then it is a star.
BIf it is not a star, then it is not a small pinprick in the night sky.
CIf it is not a small pinprick in the night sky, it is not a star.
DSmall pinpricks of light in the night sky might be satellites.
E If it is a star, then it is a small pinprick of light in the night sky.
F A really cool sneaker.



12. "Small pinpricks of light in the night sky might be satellites" is a(n)

AConverse
BInverse
CContrapositive
DCounterexample
E Contraverse
F Statement



For problems 13 through 14 your complex statement is "Baseball players are athletes."


13. Which of the following is accurate?

AThe inverse of the statement is "If someone is a baseball player then someone is an athlete."
BThe statement is "If someone is an athlete, then they are a baseball player."
CThe statement can never be true.
DBaseball players all have great teeth and gums.
E The inverse of the statement is not true.
F The converse is: "Joey is a baseball player, and he is not an athlete."



14. What is q?

ASomeone is an athlete.
BSomeone is a baseball player.
CAll baseball players are athletes.
DAll athletes are baseball players.
E Baseball player
F Athlete



For problems 15 through 20, create Venn Diagrams to help you solve the problems. These are not easy diagrams, take your time and think through this carefully.

Hints on 15 (highlight the following paragraph with your mouse to see them, they are in the form of questions you'll need to answer):
<start highlighting here> You aren't meant to find out how many students are in the individual courses. How many students are you supposed to have counted? How many wound up being counted? What does the overage mean? How many times too many was a student counted if he was in all three classes?<end highlighting here>



15. 500 students are enrolled in at least two of these three classes: Math, English, and History.  170 are enrolled in both Math and English, 150 are enrolled in both History and English, and 300 are enrolled in Math and History.  How many of the 500 students are enrolled in all three?

A300
B330
C200
D120
E 90
F 60



16. 30 people are having lunch at my house.  16 of them want salads, 16 of them prefer pasta, and 11 of them want steak.  5 say they want to have both salad and steak, and of these, 3 want pasta as well.  5 want only steak, and 8 want only pasta.  How many people want salad only?

E 11
F 5



Make a Venn Diagram from the following information to answer questions 17 through 20:

25 students played soccer

4 boys played soccer and baseball

3 girls played soccer and baseball

10 boys played baseball

4 girls played baseball

9 students played tennis

3 boys played soccer and tennis

3 girls played soccer and tennis

3 boys played baseball and tennis

1 girl played baseball and tennis

1 boy played all three sports

1 girl played all three sports



Hints on the diagram (highlight the following paragraph with your mouse to see them):
<start highlighting here> Notice that the counts don't make sense as they are, because they're all inclusive. The soccer count includes every who plays soccer, even the students in the soccer and baseball, soccer and tennis, and the all three sport counts. The count for soccer and baseball includes the students who play all three sports. So you'll need to correct from the inside outward...first subtract the boy and girl who play all three sports from all the other counts, then subtract the dual-sport counts from the single sport counts.

Put another way, this is like the gecko problem--the entire soccer circle including the soccer and baseball students and the soccer and tennis students and the students who play soccer and baseball and tennis, will add up to 25.<end highlighting here>



17. How many students played soccer, but not baseball or tennis?

A4
B25
C12
D6
E 14
F 9



18. How many students played soccer and baseball, but not tennis?

A5
B10
C3
D4
E 7
F 13



19. How many students played just one of the three sports?

A1
B20
C13
D7
E 15
F 5



20. How many girls played only baseball?

A7
B2
C3
D4
E 10
F 1
