Solution Steps

To solve the given problem, we need to interpret the contingency table and calculate the number of partnerships for each specified set. Let's proceed step by step.

Step 1: Understand the Contingency Table

The contingency table provides a cross-tabulation of partnerships by industry and their financial outcome (net income or net loss). The letters in the table represent the number of partnerships in each category.

Step 2: Calculate the Number of Partnerships for Each Set
(a) Calculate B UW
  • B UW: This set represents the number of partnerships in industry B that reported a net income (U) or a net loss (W).
  • To find this, sum the partnerships in industry B for both net income and net loss.
(b) Calculate RUC
  • RUC: This set represents the number of partnerships in industry R that reported a net income (U) and are also in category C.
  • To find this, identify the partnerships in industry R that are both in category C and reported a net income.
(c) Calculate C ∩ A
  • C ∩ A: This set represents the number of partnerships that are in both category C and industry A.
  • To find this, identify the partnerships that are in category C and also belong to industry A.

Final Answer

  • (a) B UW contains \(\boxed{\text{number of partnerships}}\).
  • (b) RUC contains \(\boxed{\text{number of partnerships}}\).
  • (c) C ∩ A contains \(\boxed{\text{number of partnerships}}\).

Note: The actual numbers for each set would be determined by the specific values in the contingency table, which are represented by letters in the problem statement.
