The Attempt at a Solution
Y = young, O = old
M = male, F = female
MR = married, S = single
n(Y) = 3000
n(O) = 10000 - 3000 = 7000,
n(M) = 4600,
n(F) = 10000 - 4600 = 5400
n(MR) = 7000
n(S) = 10000 - 7000 = 3000
n(Y∩M) = 1320
n(MR∩M) = 3010
n(Y∩MR) = 1400
n(Y∩MR∩M) = 600
Try to find n(Y∩F∩S)?
That's all I can get from the question. This is starred in my textbook as a difficult problem. Any thoughts?
