Question

in a class of 30 students, 18 students play basketball, 12 students play soccer, and 5 students play both sports. which venn diagram represents this relationship accurately?

Explanation:

Step1: Find number of only - basketball players

The number of students who play basketball is 18 and 5 play both sports. So the number of students who play only basketball is $18 - 5=13$.

Step2: Find number of only - soccer players

The number of students who play soccer is 12 and 5 play both sports. So the number of students who play only soccer is $12 - 5 = 7$.

Step3: Analyze the given Venn - diagram

In the given Venn - diagram, the values 23 and 17 are incorrect. The correct Venn - diagram should have 13 in the non - overlapping part of the basketball circle, 7 in the non - overlapping part of the soccer circle and 5 in the overlapping part. Since the question only asks for the analysis of the given incorrect Venn - diagram and not to draw the correct one, we just note the incorrectness.

Since no correct Venn - diagram options are provided, we can't give a final answer in the traditional sense. But if we were to correct the values in the given Venn - diagram:
The value in the basketball circle (excluding the overlap) should be 13 and in the soccer circle (excluding the overlap) should be 7 and 5 in the overlap.

If we assume this was a multiple - choice question with the correct Venn - diagram among the options, we would choose the one with 13 in the non - overlapping part of the basketball circle, 7 in the non - overlapping part of the soccer circle and 5 in the overlapping part.
