The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to find the number of families that own at least one of the three vehicles (car, scooter, bicycle) and then determine how many families own none of the vehicles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Sets**: - Let \( A \) be the set of families that own a car. - Let \( B \) be the set of families that own a scooter. - Let \( C \) be the set of families that own a bicycle. 2. **Given Data**: - \( N(A) = 60\% \) (families that own a car) - \( N(B) = 80\% \) (families that own a scooter) - \( N(C) = 40\% \) (families that own a bicycle) - \( N(A \cap B) = 30\% \) (families that own both a car and a scooter) - \( N(A \cap C) = 35\% \) (families that own both a car and a bicycle) - \( N(B \cap C) = 25\% \) (families that own both a scooter and a bicycle) - Let \( N(A \cap B \cap C) = x\% \) (families that own all three) 3. **Using the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle**: We need to find \( N(A \cup B \cup C) \): \[ N(A \cup B \cup C) = N(A) + N(B) + N(C) - N(A \cap B) - N(A \cap C) - N(B \cap C) + N(A \cap B \cap C) \] Substituting the values: \[ N(A \cup B \cup C) = 60 + 80 + 40 - 30 - 35 - 25 + x \] Simplifying this gives: \[ N(A \cup B \cup C) = 60 + 80 + 40 - 30 - 35 - 25 + x = 90 + x \] 4. **Finding Families with None of the Vehicles**: The total percentage of families is 100%. Therefore, the percentage of families that own neither a car, scooter, nor bicycle is: \[ N(\text{neither}) = 100 - N(A \cup B \cup C) \] Substituting the expression we found: \[ N(\text{neither}) = 100 - (90 + x) = 10 - x \] 5. **Constraints on \( x \)**: Since \( x \) represents the percentage of families that own all three vehicles, it must be greater than 0 (as stated in the problem that some families own all three). Thus: \[ 0 < x < 10 \] This means \( 10 - x \) will be between 0 and 10. 6. **Conclusion**: The families who have neither of the three vehicles can be expressed as: \[ N(\text{neither}) = 10 - x \] Since \( x \) can take any value from 0 to 10 (but not including 0), the number of families who own neither vehicle will range from 0% to 10%. ### Final Answer: The families who have neither of the three can be between 0% to 10%.
