In a survey of 90 people, 46 listen to radio, 38 listen to podcasts, and 16 listen to both. How many listen to neither?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 22
First find the number who listen to at least one medium: n(R ∪ P) = 46 + 38 − 16 = 68. The overlap is subtracted because people who listen to both were counted twice. Therefore, those who listen to neither are 90 − 68 = 22. Thus, option A is correct.
