Solution Steps

Step 1: Create a Two-Way Table
  • Summarize the given data into a two-way table.

| | Improvement | No Improvement | |----------------|-------------|----------------| | Medicine | 40 | 25 | | Placebo | 20 | 45 |

Step 2: Choose the Correct Venn Diagram
  • Analyze the given Venn diagrams and select the one that correctly represents the data from the two-way table.

The correct Venn diagram is A.

Step 3: Determine the Number of People Who Improved with Medicine
  • Identify the number of people who received the medicine and showed improvement.

The number of people who received medicine and improved is 40.

Final Answer

  • The two-way table is created.
  • The correct Venn diagram is identified as A.
  • The number of people who received medicine and improved is 40.
