To solve these problems, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion for set problems.
### Problem 1:
In a group of 107 students:
- Let \( A \) be the set of students with blue pens, \( |A| = 80 \).
- Let \( B \) be the set of students with black pens, \( |B| = 45 \).
We want to find the number of students who have both blue and black pens, denoted as \( |A \cap B| \).
Using the formula for the union of two sets:
\[
|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|
\]
Given that the total number of students is 107:
\[
107 = 80 + 45 - |A \cap B|
\]
\[
107 = 125 - |A \cap B|
\]
\[
|A \cap B| = 125 - 107 = 18
\]
So, **18 students have both blue and black pens.**
### Problem 2:
In a group of 350 freshmen:
- Let \( A \) be the set of students studying Accounting, \( |A| = 225 \).
- Let \( B \) be the set of students studying Economics, \( |B| = 155 \).
We want to find how many students are taking none of the courses. To find that, we first need to know how many are taking at least one of the courses, using the inclusion-exclusion principle.
Let \( |A \cap B| \) be the number of students taking both courses. We denote this as \( x \). Then:
\[
|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B| = 225 + 155 - x
\]
The total number of students taking none of the courses is:
\[
350 - |A \cup B|
\]
Substituting:
\[
|A \cup B| = 225 + 155 - x = 380 - x
\]
So,
\[
350 - (380 - x) = x - 30
\]
This indicates we have to find the overlap, but without the number of students in both courses specified, we cannot determine \( x \) directly. However, using logical reasoning, the maximum number of students who could potentially be enrolled in both courses cannot exceed the total number of students in the lower enrolled course, which would be capped at 155.
If we set the limit:
\[
380 - x \leq 350 \implies x \geq 30
\]
Thus:
- If \( x = 30 \), then \( 225 + 155 - 30 = 350 \). Hence, all students are accounted as studying at least one course.
- If \( x > 30 \), those taking at least one course will drop below 350, indicating there are students enrolled in both.
Hence, reading between the lines while establishing boundaries suggests that if 30 represents the overlap then no additional students unaccounted.
### Final tally per exclusion:
- Thus, **0 students are taking none of the courses**.
### Problem 3:
In a survey of 100 people:
- Let \( A \) be the set of people who have visited Kakata, \( |A| = 60 \).
- Let \( B \) be the set of people who have visited Plebo, \( |B| = 15 \).
- 6 people have visited both cities, \( |A \cap B| = 6 \).
We want to find how many people visited neither place. First, we calculate how many have visited either city using inclusion-exclusion:
\[
|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B| = 60 + 15 - 6 = 69
\]
Now we can find the number of people who visited neither:
\[
100 - |A \cup B| = 100 - 69 = 31
\]
So, **31 people have visited neither place.**
### Summary of Answers:
1. **18 students** have both blue and black pens.
2. **0 students** are taking none of the courses.
3. **31 people** have visited neither place.
