- Use the frequency tree from the Alpha/ Beta/ Gamma exercise above to construct a Venn diagram representing the data.
A group of students sit three tests. Four-fifths of the students pass the first test. 72% of students passed the second test, but only 64% of students passed both the first and second tests. A fifth of the students passed all three tests.
- What percentage of the students passed the first two tests but failed the third?
- Based on the information given, what is the smallest possible number of students in the group?
- 44%
- 25 students
