 What’s New
In this lesson, we will see how we can use Venn diagrams to understand
or interpret data that may be obtained from real life situations. As in the previous
modules, we have different regions representing different sets. Let us first consider
the following Venn diagrams, where we can see the different regions into which the
universal set (represented by the rectangular region) is partitioned by the sets under
consideration.

In this figure, we see that a single set, A divides the universal set
into 2 regions. Region I represent the set of those elements of U
which are outside A (that is, the elements of A’). Region II represent
those elements which are in A.

We see that the two sets A and B divide U into 4 regions.

This Venn diagram shows that, if the two sets A and B are
disjoint, then they divide the universal set U into 3 regions.

If A  B, then the sets A and B divide the universal set into 3

regions as shown in this Venn diagram.

Remarks:

The numbering of the regions in the above Venn diagrams is completely

arbitrary (subjective).

What is It

Example 1: Draw Venn diagrams and shade the regions representing each set.
A. A’  B

Solution:
Set A’ contains all the elements outside set A. As
labeled in the figure, A’ is represented by the regions I and
IV. Set B is represented by the regions III and IV. The
intersection of the sets A’ and B, is the given by the
region(s) common to A’ and B. So, the set A’  B is
represented by the region IV.

4
 B. A’  B’

Solution:

Again, set A’ is represented by the regions I and IV.

The set B’ is represented by the regions I and II. To find A’ 
B’ , we need to identify the region that represents the set of
all elements in A’ , B’ , or both. The result, which is shaded
in this figure, includes the regions I, II and IV.

Venn diagram word problems generally give you two or three classifications and a
bunch of numbers. You then must use the given information to populate the diagram
and figure out the remaining information. For instance:

Example 2: At a certain survey, 93 people chose Facebook as their primary social

network and 47 people chose Twitter. 25 Chose both Facebook and Twitter. If each
person chose at least one of these social networks, how many people were interviewed
in this survey?

Solution:
Let F be the set of people who chose Facebook, therefore, 𝑛(𝐹) = 93
T be the set of people who chose Twitter, therefore, 𝑛 (𝑇) = 47
F  T be the set of people who chose both social networks and 𝑛 (F  T) = 25

Using the Venn Diagram:

The shaded part of the Venn diagram represents the

number of people who chose Facebook and Twitter, so it has a
value of 25.

The shaded part of the Venn diagram represents the

number of people who chose Facebook, so the total value of
the shaded part must be 93. So, the number of people who
chose Facebook only is 68.

The shaded part of the Venn diagram represents the

number of people who chose Twitter, so the total value of the
shaded part must be 47. So, the number of people who chose
Twitter only is 22.

To sum up the total number of people interviewed in the survey, we have

68 + 25 + 22 = 115, therefore, there were 115 people who joined the survey.

5
Example 3: A survey of 100 Grade 7 students revealed that 40 like Mathematics,
63 like Filipino, 41 like Science, 18 like both Mathematics and Science, 25 like both
Mathematics and Filipino, 19 like Science and Filipino, and 13 like all three subjects.
How many like Mathematics only? Filipino only? Science only? How many did not
like any of the 3 subjects?

Solution:
Let M = Mathematics, P = Pilipino, S = Science

Total number of students n (U) = 100

Mathematics n (M) = 40
Filipino n (F) = 63
Science n (S) = 41
Math and Science n (M  S) = 18
Math and Filipino n (M  F) = 25
Science and Filipino n (S  F) = 19
Math, Science and Filipino n (M  S F) = 13

Therefore, there are 10 students who like Mathematics only, 32 students who
like Filipino only, and 17 students who like Science only. The number of students
who did not like any of the 3 subjects is equal to 5.

100 − (10 + 12 + 13 + 5 + 32 + 6 + 17 ) = 100 − 95 = 5

 What I Need To Remember

Venn diagrams are important in showing relationships

between sets.

The conjunction “and” means intersection of two sets.

The conjunction “or” means union of two sets.

Congratulations! You are now ready to transfer your new knowledge and
skill into real-life situations or concerns.

Take the Challenge. Read and solve the given problems. Use Venn Diagram to show
the relationship among the sets. Please don’t forget to use a separate sheet of paper
