Club Games E2B645
1. **Problem Statement:** There are 80 men in a club, each playing at least one game among football, hockey, and baseball.
Given:
- Football only = 20
- Hockey only = 19
- Baseball only = 22
- Equal number of men play exactly two games only (denote this number as $x$ for each pair).
- No men play all three games (assumed 0).
Find how many men play baseball.
2. **Formula and Rules:**
The total number of men is the sum of men playing only one game, men playing exactly two games, and men playing all three games.
$$\text{Total} = \text{Football only} + \text{Hockey only} + \text{Baseball only} + \text{Sum of two-game intersections} + \text{Three-game intersection}$$
Since the three-game intersection is 0, and each two-game intersection has $x$ men, there are 3 such intersections:
$$\text{Total} = 20 + 19 + 22 + 3x + 0 = 61 + 3x$$
3. **Calculate $x$:**
Given total men = 80,
$$80 = 61 + 3x$$
Subtract 61 from both sides:
$$80 - 61 = 3x$$
$$19 = 3x$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$x = \frac{19}{3} \approx 6.33$$
Since number of men must be whole, this suggests a slight inconsistency or rounding, but we proceed with $x = 6.33$ for calculation.
4. **Calculate total baseball players:**
Baseball players include:
- Baseball only: 22
- Football and Baseball only: $x = 6.33$
- Hockey and Baseball only: $x = 6.33$
- All three games: 0
Total baseball players:
$$22 + 6.33 + 6.33 + 0 = 34.66 \approx 35$$
5. **Summary:**
- Number of men playing baseball is approximately 35.
- The Venn diagram would show:
- Football only: 20
- Hockey only: 19
- Baseball only: 22
- Each two-game intersection: about 6.33
- No men in all three games intersection.
This completes the problem.
