Chapter 2: Problem 11

A total of 28 percent of American males smoke cigarettes, 7 percent smoke cigars, and 5 percent smoke both cigars and cigarettes. (a) What percentage of males smokes neither cigars nor cigarettes? (b) What percentage smokes cigars but not cigarettes?

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) 70% of American males smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes. (b) 2% of American males smoke cigars but not cigarettes.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the principle of inclusion-exclusion

The principle of inclusion-exclusion states that in a set of objects or elements, if some elements belong to two or more categories, then to find the total elements in the set, we need to add the number of elements in each category and subtract the overlapping elements, i.e., those elements which belong to more than one category. In this case, we have three categories: males who smoke cigars, males who smoke cigarettes, and males who smoke both cigars and cigarettes. To find the total percentage of males who smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes, we need to consider all American males as our set and subtract the percentage of males who belong to each of the given categories.
02

Calculate the percentage of males who smoke cigars or cigarettes

According to the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the percentage of males who smoke cigars or cigarettes is the sum of the percentage of males who smoke cigars and the percentage of males who smoke cigarettes minus the percentage of males who smoke both cigars and cigarettes. Let A = percentage of males who smoke cigars = 7% Let B = percentage of males who smoke cigarettes = 28% Let C = percentage of males who smoke both cigars and cigarettes = 5% Percentage of males who smoke cigars or cigarettes = A + B - C = 7% + 28% - 5% = 30%
03

Calculate the percentage of males who smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes

Now that we have the percentage of males who smoke cigars or cigarettes, we can find the percentage of males who smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes. Since the total percentage of all American males is 100%, we can find the percentage of males who smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes by subtracting the percentage of males who smoke cigars or cigarettes from the total percentage. Percentage of males who smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes = 100% - 30% = 70% So, 70% of American males smoke neither cigars nor cigarettes. #b) Find the percentage of males who smoke cigars but not cigarettes#
04

Calculate the percentage of males who smoke cigars but not cigarettes

To find the percentage of males who smoke cigars but not cigarettes, we need to subtract the percentage of males who smoke both cigars and cigarettes from the percentage of males who smoke cigars. This is because the percentage of males who smoke cigars includes both those who smoke cigars only and those who smoke both cigars and cigarettes. Percentage of males who smoke cigars but not cigarettes = A - C = 7% - 5% = 2% So, 2% of American males smoke cigars but not cigarettes.
