Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the relevant sections of the Venn diagram
  • Electric company stock (E): 23, 8, 4, 15
  • Transportation stock (T): 10, 8, 4, 7
  • Municipal bonds (M): 9, 15, 4, 7
Step 2: Calculate the number of investors who owned electric company or transportation stock but not both
  • Investors owning only E: 23
  • Investors owning only T: 10
  • Investors owning both E and T but not M: 8
  • Total: 23 + 10 + 8 = 41
Step 3: Calculate the number of investors who owned electric company or transportation stock but not municipal bonds
  • Investors owning only E: 23
  • Investors owning only T: 10
  • Investors owning both E and T but not M: 8
  • Investors owning E and M but not T: 15
  • Investors owning T and M but not E: 7
  • Total: 23 + 10 + 8 + 15 + 7 = 63

Final Answer

(a) 41 investors (b) 63 investors
