Answer

The Venn diagram,

Work Step by Step

(a) In the Venn diagram, the region I represents the students registered only for a math course. So, the required number of students is \[\begin{align} & n\left( \text{only for math} \right)=n\left( \text{I} \right) \\ & =35 \end{align}\] (b) In the Venn diagram, the region III represents the students registered only for an English course. So, the required number of students is \[\begin{align} & n\left( \text{only for English} \right)=n\left( \text{III} \right) \\ & =25 \end{align}\] (c) In the Venn diagram, the sum of the regions I, II, and III represents the students registered for a math or an English course. So, the required number of students is \[\begin{align} & n\left( \text{math or English} \right)=n\left( \text{I} \right)+n\left( \text{II} \right)+n\left( \text{III} \right) \\ & =35+40+25 \\ & =100 \end{align}\] (d) In the Venn diagram, the region IV represents the number of students did not register for either a math course or an English course. So, the required number of students is \[\begin{align} & n\left( \text{none course} \right)=n\left( \text{IV} \right) \\ & =20 \end{align}\]
