Question One A class of 40 students completed a survey on pets they like. The choices were dogs, cats and birds. Everyone liked at least one pet. 10 students liked cats and birds but not dogs. 2 students liked birds and dogs but not cats. 12 students liked cats and birds. 8 students liked cats and dogs. All together, 28 liked cats, 19 liked dogs and 15 liked birds. Represent this information on a Venn diagram.

Question 2 Suppose I discovered that my cat had a taste for the adorable little geckoes that live in the bushes and vines in my yard, back when I lived in Arizona. In one month, suppose he deposited the following on my carpet: six grey geckoes, twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails in an effort to escape capture, and fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed on a little. Only one of the geckoes was grey, chewed on, and tailless; two were grey and tailless but not chewed on; two were grey and chewed on but not tailless. If there were a total of 24 geckoes left on my carpet that month, and all of the geckoes were at least one of "grey", "tailless", and "chewed on", how many were tailless and chewed on but not grey?
23
there were a total of 24 geckoes …
Grey Tailless Chewed on
24
Only one of the geckoes was grey, chewed on, and tailless
24 Grey Tailless 1 Chewed on
25
two were grey and tailless but not chewed on;
24 Grey Tailless 2 1 Chewed on
26
all of the geckoes were at least one of "grey", "tailless", and "chewed on",
24 Grey Tailless 2 1 2 Chewed on
27
six grey geckoes 24 Grey Tailless 1 2 1 2 Chewed on
28
twelve geckoes that had dropped their tails: a + b = 9
24 Grey Tailless 1 2 a 1 b 2 Chewed on
29
fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed: c + b = 12
24 Grey Tailless 1 2 a 1 b 2 c Chewed on
30
3 unknowns need 3 equations: a + b = 9; c + b = 12; a + b + c = 18
24 Grey Tailless 1 2 a 1 b 2 c Chewed on
32
tailless and chewed on but not grey = 3
24 Grey Tailless 1 2 6 1 3 2 9 Chewed on
