Sagot :

Answer:

3 of the cities surveyed had only a professional sports​ team.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question treating these as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: professional sports team.

Set B: Symphony.

Set C: Children's museum.

We start building from the intersection of these three.

6 had all three activities.

This means that [tex]A \cap B \cap C = 6[/tex]

10 had a symphony and a​ children's museum,

This means that:

[tex](B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 10[/tex]

[tex](B \cap C) + 6 = 10[/tex]

[tex](B \cap C) = 4[/tex]

That is, 4 have only the symphony and children's museum, while 6 have all three.

10 had a professional sports team and a​ children's museum

[tex](A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 10[/tex]

[tex](A \cap C) + 6 = 10[/tex]

[tex](A \cap C) = 4[/tex]

14 had a professional sports team and a​ symphony

[tex](A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 14[/tex]

[tex](A \cap B) + 6 = 14[/tex]

[tex](A \cap B) = 8[/tex]

21 had a professional sports team

This means that:

[tex](A - B - C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 21[/tex]

In which (A - B - C) represents the cities which had only a sports team. So

[tex](A - B - C) + 8 + 4 + 6 = 21[/tex]

[tex](A - B - C) = 3[/tex]

3 of the cities surveyed had only a professional sports​ team.
