Venn Diagram

  • You can use a venn diagram to show frequencies in a probability question
  • This venn diagram shows the results when 50 people were asked whether they owned a dog or a cat
  • The rectangle represents everyone who was surveyed
  • The number in each section tells you how many people that section represents
  • Some people owned a dog and a cat so the ovals overlap   * The overlap can be represented by D n C

        * 21+18+5 = 44 people owned a dog or a cat, you can write this as D u C
