At a breakfast buffet, 54% of people choose coffee for their beverage while 16% choose juice. also, 12% choose both coffee and juice. what percentage of people chose coffee only?

The answer is 42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a Venn diagram, we get 12% in the middle, meaning that 12% of people chose both coffee and juice.

54% is the total amount of people who chose coffee, including the % of people who chose coffee as well as juice.

So, we need to subtract 12% from 54%, therefore giving us 42%.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
