43. A survey was given asking whether they watch movies at home from Netflix, Redbox, or a video store. Use the results to determine how many people use Redbox.
\(\begin{array}{ll} \text{52 only use Netflix} & \text{62 only use Redbox} \\ \text{24 only use a video store} & \text{16 use only a video store and Redbox} \\ \text{48 use only Netflix and Redbox} & \text{30 use only a video store and Netflix} \\ \text{10 use all three} & \text{25 use none of these} \end{array}\)
44. A survey asked buyers whether color, size, or brand influenced their choice of cell phone. The results are below. How many people were influenced by brand?
\(\begin{array}{ll} \text{5 only said color} & \text{8 only said size} \\ \text{16 only said brand} & \text{20 said only color and size} \\ \text{42 said only color and brand} & \text{53 said only size and brand} \\ \text{102 said all three} & \text{20 said none of these} \end{array}\)
45. Use the given information to complete a Venn diagram, then determine: a) how many students have seen exactly one of these movies, and b) how many had seen only Star Wars .
\(\begin{array}{ll} \text{18 had seen The Matrix (M)} & \text{24 had seen Star Wars (SW)} \\ \text{20 had seen Lord of the Rings (LotR)} & \text{10 had seen M and SW} \\ \text{14 had seen LotR and SW } & \text{12 had seen M and LotR} \\ \text{6 had seen all three} & \text{} \end{array}\)
46. A survey asked people what alternative transportation modes they use. Using the data to complete a Venn diagram, then determine: a) what percent of people only ride the bus, and b) how many people don’t use any alternate transportation.
