$\square$ freshmen
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given data
Total freshmen surveyed: 618
Freshmen who like rap: 274
Freshmen who like jazz: 362
Freshmen who like rock: 312
Freshmen who like both rap and jazz: 193
Freshmen who like both rap and rock: 139
Freshmen who like both jazz and rock: 123
Freshmen who like all three types of music: 91
Freshmen who don't like any of these three types of music: 113
Step 2: Understand the Venn diagram
The Venn diagram provided shows the distribution of freshmen who like different combinations of music genres. The numbers in the overlapping regions represent the number of freshmen who like the corresponding combinations of music genres.
Step 3: Calculate the number of freshmen who like both jazz and rap, but don't like rock
Freshmen who like both jazz and rap: 193
Freshmen who like all three types of music: 91
To find the number of freshmen who like both jazz and rap but don't like rock, subtract the number of freshmen who like all three types of music from the number of freshmen who like both jazz and rap:
\[ 193 - 91 = 102 \]
Final Answer
102 freshmen like both jazz and rap, but don't like rock.
